Maintain ideal body weight (if you're 6'0" you should be approx. 170lbs)
Depending on the length of your track sessions, maintain fuel tank at 50% or less ... for the GT3 with extended tank, 1/2 tank weighs approx. 75lbs
Install Lithium battery ... approx. 30lbs weight savings
Keep the windshield washer reservoir nearly empty

That's two of you now saying that. I didn't realize the windshield washer fluid was so darn heavy.......... That I can keep low.

Intriguing that with a Titanium exhaust GT3 is much lighter than an RS...
A GT3 suited as the RS (which is homolagated with
Polycarbonate rear window
Titanium exhaust)
How much lighter is?

Losing that much weight from aftermarket brakes is optimistic. If you're trying to lose weight on a 3200 lbs car, depends how far you are willing to go. Once the obvious things are finished in terms of wheels, battery, then you turn to fact that Gt3s have an awful amount if luxuries. Stereo, carpets, etc. etc. grams start adding into pounds, but not worth it IMO unless you are racing and can extract full performance from the car.
I get his point though. Most of us could stand to lose a few. Or More than a few.
His "ideal" number does not work for though. For example if you are 170 lbs at 6' tall, even at a very lean 10% body fat, you aren't carrying that much muscle mass. I would have so little body fat at 170 lbs that it would be unhealthy (well into single digit %).
