So besides people cluttering up this thread with useless information ....

I took info from what everyone said and decided to remove little petty things in my car along with the spare and jack , etc ... only when I'm going to run.

Loosing lbs = Loosing seconds....

Spare tire and jack etc...will help, but aggressive weight reduction is really needed for substantive gains...

lose the a/c, power steering, add c/f hood, forged wheels...then you'll be trimming time...

but every little bit helps...Sorry to clutter up the thread...glad you got many opinions....

if i remove the spare how do you keep the carpet thing from getting pushed in?

 

[happy and angry]

Remove it, it's adding weight.

I replaced the heavy billet mazdaspeed oil cap with the cheap plastic cap I found in the glove compartment I'm sure its not much, but it was easy, free, and reversible

So that's why I have a bubble wrapped bag with the original oil cap in my trunk. Thanks!

Remove the entire floor cover...Then you can use the spare tire well as a "bucket" to hold things...
