This. A couple of years ago when I was autocrossing my Miata, I lost 50 lbs in under a year, and got a little more than that out of my Miata, getting it down to just a few pounds over 2k lbs. Ten years ago I got really serious about weight reduction on my Neon, taking it from a curb weight of 2500 lbs, down to a race weight of 1986 lbs. Nothing terribly serious planned for my BRZ, but I have installed wheels that are 5-6 lbs each lighter than stock, and a muffler delete which saves 23 lbs.
