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.
Yeah there aren't a lot of options for the sunroof delete. I would love a composite 1M front end to run 275 square tires My current 25lbs battery was $48 at Walmart haha I'll probably go with a Deka battery around 350cca as the car is still used for occasional weekend cruises.
