Weight reduction ideas
Hello all I have a 2010 GT3 that is a dedicated track car.So far I’ve done the following weight reduction stuff ;Removed stock seats and replaced with a Recaro Pole Positions,installed tequipment chrome moly 1/2 cage,Voltphreaks lightweight battery and lastly removed the side pod mufflers .Don’t want to ruin the interior wondering if there any non invasive ideas there and of course any other thoughts are welcome.
Was at the track before CV set in and ran with a 991.1 GT3 that had an AP brake kit on four wheels ,calipers and rotors claimed a 6 pound per corner savings of unsprung weight !Any knowledge of such a kit for the 997.2 GT3?Thanks in advance for any help !HOM

Sorry to be CPT OBVIOUS but LW Wheels.
My 997.1 GT3 wheels are 110lbs!

it says your OEM wheels are 120!!
I think some LW wheels would make a difference for sure.

Forged lightweight wheels
Titanium lug nuts
convert to ceramic PCCB also but pricey and maybe not ideal for track
Anything that reduces unsprung weight is much more beneficial than the interior reductions

do you have headlight water sprayers? If so, there is about a 1/4" hose full of water that runs all the way up to and across the inside of the front bumper cover. That has to weigh quite a bit more than 4.4lbs and really not all that useful IMHO on a GT car.

It's 20? Seconds faster a lap and when (not if) you hit something hard it's factory caged
You wanna go fast on a track race car > street car
Severe gutting of a street car to me just makes sense to get a racecar
