Dunno how much that is going to take, but it could very well need a new block. Oh and E85 might be able to hit 250hp at 8000rpm...

What other heavy components are there though? Smaller brakes or two-piece rotors with forged aluminum calipers would shave a bit. Forged wheels a bit more. Speakers perhaps, head unit/nav, trunk crap, maybe replace the rear seats with a formed carbon cover that emulates seats...I'm not seeing too many places to remove weight without really killing the interior/making the car unsafe.
