HEY! Before comments go crazy, here goes. I'm about 5.8, 138 lbs, BMI of about 22. That's decent?

But I feel my car is a bit overweight. I would like to loose weight on my 991.2 TTS to about 3400 lbs. which is about 150 lbs diet.
Can you gurus tell me how I can achieve this?

Carbon hood or trunk, titanium exhaust. Race seat and remove other seats.

carbon brakes, light weight rims and tires are huge.

Anti-gravity battery??

Need a little more info on your constraints. See exhibit A:

I think the basics are LW Rims, Anti gravity battery (40lbs), Inconel Headers and Exhaust. Close to 100lbs right there - no?

I just put this in….

Question: does anyone have any 1/4 mile or 60-130 before and after dropping the weight?

TBH, I’ve always just accepted that the TTS would be a bit portly, but I didn’t expect a strong return on investment from dropping weight on this platform unless I went really hardcore. On my track cayman, I pulled close to 10% out (including lithium battery) which made a huge difference considering it has less than half the HP. But the car is obviously unusable on the street.

Thanks in advance

Awesome thanks people! I'll check into this!

Taco Bell $1 specials a few hrs before racetime.

Is this for real... Reminds me of the weight weenies in the cycling world... That $200 carbon fiber seatpost will let me climb that hill .02 seconds faster.. lol

Lithium Battery 25lbs weight savings.. I always thought 200lbs =0.2 sec faster..

CodyzWorld

everything means something. 5 lbs here, 30 lbs there, getting all the junk out of your car, etc. it ALL matters.

I suppose.. I guess at some point in our lives, we just quit caring about it. I must be there..

I think I'm somewhere in the 70-80 lb savings range with the full Kline Inconel exhaust, and HRE R101LW wheels. Might have added 10 pounds back with the larger intercoolers.

I think battery would be the next best step to remove weight from the front to balance things out.

OEM LWB seats would be good but not for DD.
