Here's a pretty good list of weights for things you may want to remove.

How easy are the rear seats to remove on the Camaro. On the Mustang there are two pull tabs for the bottom and 3 bolts. Takes like 5 minutes.

Real easy. The uppers have releases that goes around the pivot pins on each side. The bottoms just clip in. It only takes a few minutes and they are out. The releases are pretty hard to get to if you have big hands, so I unbolt them sometimes. It only takes a minute or two longer.

all he will have to do is the similar mods to stay ahead of you.

It's really a drivers race and an auto is gonna be easy to go down the track. A good tune on its own would give you a more responsive car, enough improvement to beat him

The cheapest way to 550 rwhp is a sc or turbo. You're not gonna get there with bolt ons

You can get to 475 with bolt ons quickly but a tune will be a must out of the gate.

Look at tl header, intake and a cam.

Depending how you do it and who installs parts you can add 75-100 rwhp fairly cheap and would crush him. Next I'd go with some suspension to keep the tires on the ground. Look and some trailing arms

Honestly you could spend $500 on headers, a few hundred on intake and $500 on a cam and be well ahead. Tune is gonna cost a few hundred more.

475 hp with bolt ons

That throttle lag needs someone to rape it, kill it, and chop it into pieces then throw it to the dogs

Many owners sold their cars because of this deadly virus that killed this muscle car ride compared to the rest
