Probably went with aluminum or Ti bolts... Aluminum took 25 or so lbs off of a VR4. An old racers trick was to cut off any extra thread sticking out the other side of a nut. On the old war horses, you could save 20 to 40 lbs by doing this. Todays cars don't use as much extra steel, but there are weight savings to be made... esp when replacing the bolts with a lighter material. Most people don't want to drop the cash for that many Aluminum, or esp. Ti bolts though.
