IMO, enjoy car and save yer $$$.
I'm sure lightweight wheels would make a noticeable difference as well.

Between wheels, spare tire removal, lightweight battery, and lightweight exhaust you should be getting close to 26XX pounds.

The car won't be drastically faster, but it should acclerate/handle/brake better all without making the car harsher to drive on a daily basis.
