That's just a track day, not a race and the yellow car looks like the only one that's not driven at street speeds. Not a fair comparison.

Sounds wonderful in there.

My battery box contribution; You can remove the batter box lid as i did, drill out the box. Small battery obviously too
There is so much drilling you can do if you have time. I plan to do this even to the lightweight hood and to the hood hinges. remove struts in their place simple aluminum stands. Look at old RSR articles..This was done by Porsche a lot over the years as most know.
There is just so much that can be done, depends on how dedicated a person is.
But nice thing is you can continue to lighten your car as you race it.

Best

WOW......I gotta ask why is he driving the car like an early 911....you really don't need to "throw" a 928 into corner, induce oversteer than catch it.....sure its a yellow 928 but it not YELLOW BIRD.... It is faster to "bend" the car into turns....

Tony, 25lbs on glass is good to know thanks for posting, I can pull my seats but anyone know what manual and power ft seats weigh approx., shopping for lightweight seats at moment.

LOL, I didn't even notice the shoes.

Yes Iceman I agree driving like a old 911 or a Austin Cooper (Mini) 'twitching' it to set up the turn. Didn't watch it closely, driver in his own magical world..

I know the Power seats in my 87 s4 weigh about 75lbs each...The manual seats are way lighter! If your interested in a light weight set of black (911 i believe) seats let me know as I have a set in Great condition I'd be willing to part with, there out of a 99-2000 car.

Thx
