First, get some more serious rubber. The A6's should be just fine if you just do AutoX. You might also want to get some lighter wheels (less unsprung weight)- notice that the vette has some nice CCW's on her.
Second, get some suspension bits (coilovers, springs, sway bars, etc.)
After that, if you are looking for more power (a VERY slippery slope) you start with the other mods- exhaust, re-program of ECU (best bang for the buck), air intake, etc.
If you add more power, don't forget about your brakes (steel braided lines, bigger, slotted rotors, track pads, high performance brake fluid, etc).
Then, and only then, worry about your weight. That should be the last thing on your list. Kind of "fine tuning" if you will, to shave those precious last few tenths of a second off your times.

1. Remove the plastic cover on the mount between the the seat backs by pulling it forward. It's a snap fit item.
2. Remove the snap fit covers at the seat back hinge points.
3. Using the proper size Torx tool, remove the Torx bolt. You should now be able to lift the seat backs forward and way from the hinges.
4. Remove the set cushions by pulling up firmly. The are attached to the floor by Velcro.
These is all easy to see in the Porsche parts book:
