I see where this is going. I plan to auto-x this car in the stock class, maybe G-stock. More likely D-stock.
Reducing weight can gain performance everywhere.
First, aftermarket cat-back,
Double adjustable aluminum shocks.
Remove everything that is not bolted down, spare tire and jack.
Empty water in the windshield wiper washer container.
Empty radiator overflow container.
Half filled master cylinder, half fill radiator.
Turn brake rotor down, sand brake pads down.
Hollow front sway bar.
Update/backdate parts from lesser model.
Of course there is more, but you get the gesture.
