You mean the road with a 30mph speed limit and a local cop/state highway patrol officer every 1/2-1mile. Yeah I wouldn't count that a true drivers road any more since you can't really enjoy it any longer.

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.

1/2 filling fluids just doesn't seem practical for a vehicle that will also be used as a DD. Also sanding brake pads down and hollowing out the sway bars to save weight is a piss poor manner to reduce weight at the risk of safety and longevity of car parts. Pass.
