That's okay. In the street prepared class you can swap between trim
levels (in stock class you can't). I'll probably figure a modular
system for the stereo. I don't want to ditch it totally, but I'll pull
it out of the races. The A/C should come out, but I'm kinda a wuss. I
havent't decided either way on that yet.

It's not much, but I plan to pull the fog lights, mechnical fan and if I
get real ambitious the fan schrowd.

Weight off the front end is most important.

In time the seats will be swapped out for lighter ones with harness holes.

How about bumpers? That's what I really need to lighten.

Josh, I don't know if I ever answered. But a 6cyl falls into ESP. In
the rule book its not specifically listed yet, so the swapping I'm
talking about is technically not legal. But I'm going to lobby to get
it listed.

If your running 245 or narrower street tires you can probably run in STX
(if your region offers that). But even if your tires are wider chat
with the STX guys and point out the very, very high treadwear rating,
they should let you break that rule.
