OK so some of advantage that Si has over CTR is lower weight. And I'm of belief that the SI has a lot of weight loss potential. Lower weight means free horsepower per lb and better handling . So in initial assessment I see following areas of opportunity
Body: Steel hood and trunk replaced by dry carbon pieces
Drivetrain: lightweight flywheel
Brakes: aluminum hat two piece rotors
Suspension: aluminum body coilovers, hollow swaybars, aluminum suspension arms
Wheels: lightweight 17x8 wheels with light summer tires
Exhaust: titanium or lightweight steel cat back system.
Electronics: 9 lb Lithium battery
I'd bet that's close to 200 lbs of weight loss potential
More radical steps
Sport steering wheel no airbag
Carbon fiber race seats
Has anyone weighed Si wheels and stock cat back exhaust? Just curious how much they weigh.
