Those M3/M4 ZCP/GTS seats with holes should weigh less than M2C seats as well (maybe ~10lbs combined for both front seats?). If you order it with titanium MPE, it'd save another 18lbs. Considering a 6MT M2C with full tank of gas weighs 3560lbs, an M2CS 6MT can realistically come at around ~3400lbs with 150-160lbs weight savings but don't ask about the price tag of this build
So going by those numbers, let's knock off the fancy brakes, the lithium battery and the MPE exhaust. That 160-(53+30+18)=59 lbs. lighter than the M2C. They could reduce weight in other areas but I don't see any obvious places to do that. When I want my car to weigh less I just stop eating ice cream after dinner .
maybe -1 pound for removing the internal door handles, the arm rest, dual zone climate, comfort access.
