Of course there is always room for suspension tuning and HP but this will likely be a limited edition car that costs a ton and won't be driven because collectors/speculators will park them.
All CF pieces (roof, fenders, trunk lid, hood) ==> -50lbs (if they decide to add fenders and trunk lid too)
CCBs ==> -25lbs over blue brakes or -60lbs over silver BBK on M2C
763M wheels ==> -8lbs over 437Ms or -17lbs over 788Ms on M2C
Lithium battery ==> -30lbs (or even more)

So they can save close to 160lbs over M2C without even touching the interior. If they add manual AC, manual seats, lightweight door trim etc total weight savings can be near 200lbs.
