ahh, reminds me of the stripped down lancer evo I saw at an autox once, no spare tire, no interior, even took the door handles off (WTF?) - then he gets beat handily by a guy in a completely stock kia rio. hahaha.
FWIW, I don't even bother taking the spare out for autox anymore - it's extra work, and I seriously doubt 30lbs is going to make any difference. and the jack? please. if your driving skill is that poor that 3lbs makes a difference, you probably shouldn't be behind the wheel anyway.
also, some of my fastest runs were with a passenger.... not to say more weight is better, but removing your spare and interior isn't going to make you mario andretti.Last edited by nando; 02-22-2008, 10:23 AM.Comment

uh, okay.
here, I'll help you out:
0-60 with interior and spare: pretty damn slow
0-60 with no interior or spare: still pretty damn slow
