It doesn't matter if they add an alunimum hood, CF trunk and roof, the car is just heavy for its size to begin with. And even that would have not really saved THAT much weight.
That and if they had gone to the M3/4 levels of weight savings, you wouldn't have seen a starting price in the low 50's - it would have driven the cost up significantly.

I think we will see true weight savings in the CSL - which should get the combined treatment of both our combined posts.

Maybe even a higher redline too?
