Weight Loss

Hey guys,
ive been looking around and these new 5.0s are talkin so much shit about being lighter, i know we've got the power to blow them outta the water.
but, i was wondering what would be the cheapest, fastest way to cut major weight.
ive looked at carbon fiber hoods, doors, trunks, ect. but what about underneath??

It may not be the cheapest, but the most effective route is to drop rotating mass in your driveline. Start with wheels/tires, rotors, driveshaft, etc.

aftermarket exhaust drops 30+ lbs
headers drop 20+ lbs
back seat delete saves 40
front seat swap saved me 60+
airbag delete dropped 20+
suspension upgrade drops 20+
Light weight wheels save a LOT 50+

I did all that + more to lose weight..
trimmed edges of interior plastic
shaved headliner plastic (roof side)
removed a bunch of crap behind dash
