Haha. It takes a LOT of work to remove that kind of weight. Plus, the VQ engine is about 100lbs lighter than the VE30DE with iron block. That helped a lot. Plus, I will sometimes spend hours just to remove 1lb worth of nuts/bolts and brackets. It has added up over the years.
A few of the major things that have been done to reduce weight are:
Remove interior
Lightweight drag wheels w/ slicks
Rear skinnies
No bumper supports
No catback exhaust (run open Ypipe for track)
Lightweight battery
This Spring, I hope to finally have a manual steering rack and a fuel cell to further reduce weight. Once that is complete, I will need to install a chrome-moly roll bar since NHRA rules require one at 11.99 or faster. Then, I will piece together the interior and make it look 100% stock. But I should only need to add about 50-75 lbs in order to have a full, stock appearing interior once again.

Right now, I'm concentrating on reducing weight where it's cheap and easy to do. So I haven't made any fiberglass panels yet. But it's possible I may do that one day.

You'd pass me by 80-100, imo, depending on when you hooked. From 5-80 I think I could build enough lead on you to avoid getting passed by the top of third, haha. Look at me bench racing... ugh this is going to draw MIKERNM in here telling us how his stock 6th gen (that isn't his) will pull busses on us.
Our 6 Gen isnt Stock, just few stock on kn filter and exterior goods, so what you think good happen i got 13 sec on track what you think??

Why just the other day, my mom called me and said that I pulled on a Pontiac G8 GT in my '06 Volvo wagon. They met at the Wendy's right after both getting some fast food and I opened the hood and he almost fainted when he saw my stock engine. She told me that I really want to take my Volvo to the 1/4 mile track. Even if you don't believe me I'm fine with that?
On hour ago my bro was told me that he was race w/ 06 subaru sti (i think it stock), they are same race on freeway, my bro was talk w/ boy who use subaru sti @ gasstation, he did 138 mph, i DID 143 mph WTF!? then i was open my hood, he shocked its STOCK? Also my bro was told me that he really want to go to track! That Good News! But im fine when u not believe me or BS to me?

Wow. This one is way better.
http://tts.imtranslator.net/Dvqb
And SEE PUT ICEBAG ON IM I THINK IT WILL HELP ON TRACTION IM GUESS
And Shift is 6400 RPM (NOT ON REDLINE) ~ ARE BEST
Velocity Stack forward on headlight it will help more boost
Make sure about gutted interior / trunk as krazy6
GET TAPE ON UNDER THE CAR FOR MAKE DIFFUSER AS KRAZY6
Think about engine / intake manifold condition can get warm when turn on like 5 min not more than 5 min it will make more degree as very hot, it make low accelerate on track.
I think this post will help for improve on track. Good Lucky!

It's funny, cuz he doesn't even seem to be reading the thread. If he is, he either doesn't understand what's going on, or he has a remarkable ability to let criticism bounce right off of him. I lived in Asia for a couple years and learned to fluently speak another language and as such, I consider myself pretty adept at picking up what non-native English speakers are trying to say. Let it suffice to say that I'm having a really hard time with these posts. I think he'd be better off typing what he wants to say directly into an online translator and then posting that. It would probably be more intelligible.

I had to go look up who this JayPee guy is. He's some racer who hangs out in the 1/4 mile forum. So I bounced through a few of his threads, and... wow!
His cars and his track times are some pretty impressive stuff.
