Look into a composite hood and fenders if you come across them for a good price. That stuff weighs a lot and you don't need any more weight up front. Also I know of a battery solution that will allow you to remove the heavy cables going to the rear and use a 6lb battery up front to start and power the car.

You also could lose the sunroof, it's pretty heavy and in the worst place possible. You might also look into swapping the doors with a removable bar setup for the track days, the doors are unbelievably heavy.

Also if your trackday organization allows it you can run an open downpipe. It's not that loud due to your turbos acting as mufflers and you save a ton of weight without the expense of a full system.
