( About the only one that they have in the M2 is not including sound deadening. ) some of these methods that are employed on the M3 and M4 are what OP is going to do.
By the way .. removing 50 pounds here and there.. certainly does help when doing so in multiple areas .. right? There really aren't any MAJOR areas to reduce weight aside from composite body panels, removing interior panels, speakers, sound systems, consoles etc..
you are correct about the M2/M3/M4 hiding their weight well.. The first thing that turned me off about the M2 is that it GAINED WEIGHT vs the 1M.
as it is.. The OP is already starting with the heavier DCT anyway.  |
lol you keep editing after the initial post...
yeah, I agree on both accounts...I guess I just really despise that the entire auto industry continues to get heavier and heavier - especially for high performance cars. And yet, horsepower is the main measure of performance and the only metric people care about (which is why it keeps going up and up and up)....while if you made your car 500 lbs less, it would probably perform just as good with less power and be more fun to drive
