I agree with DSOmegaX. I also installed a few parts that read making the biggest difference and the results are astonishing.
You can focus on weight reduction without taking away the comfort. I agree the car should be comfortable. Wheels/brakes/flywheel/driveshaft can all be lightened, and that would make a shocking difference. 100 lbs lighter would be huge.

So you are saying the tS pieces do make a noticeable difference? I guess driving it will be the only real way to know, wish we could drive it on a course like the did when they were introducing the car.
