Advan RG II wheels 18x9 wheels will save you about 24 lbs of rotating mass.
Girodisc 2pc rotors at 4 corners will save you about 18 lbs of rotating mass.
I think AMS has an AC delete kit & a wilwood front brake kit that shaves 32 lbs
Stock turbo, cams, intake, tbe & a nice tune

A new clutch with lightened flywheel for all of the launches you plan to do!

damen, dont diss the lrn2drv folks just because you dont like the messenger. their message isnt all that far off. driver skill is a huge component in 0-60 and 60ft times. i'm not saying you suck at driving, but dare you say you have no more room for improvement? that perfect launch, the quick shift, etc ... can you do that all day long?

if yes, then get yourself better tires. 0-60 and 60ft imho, is not about making more power, its about connecting the power you have to the road: going from a 300hp evo to a 1000hp veyron knocks off 1 or 2 sec off the 0-60.

the fastest 0-60 time you will achieve would probably be with a gt 42-gt45r, but thats only if your driving as hard as you can. go green and all supporting mods

some things i did were lighter brake rotors, lighter wheels, lighter steering wheel, lighter seats, cross member and diff support bars, remove front and rear crash beams, remove wing, do cf trunk/ hood, coilovers, exhaust, battery, remove big intake and brackets, there are metal brackets in and around the steering wheel that arent neccessary, etc

This would get you what you need:

2.3 stroker motor
water injection / meth
Stock Turbo
100 lbs off the car
cams
Exedy twin disc HD Clutch
Good Driver Mod
AMS carbon Fiber Roof - looks good, saves some lbs
Rims
look into there racing products for time attack to save weight

Call it a day

I have a FP red and my 60 ft time is 1.7. and a 1/4 of 11.3 at 125.something. I think my 0-60 is in the 3's somewhere. i mean i never tested it but by the time im done slipping the clutch im at 60mph. Although, when i had my stock turbo and meth i could pull 2+ cars on a new gt5oo cobra from a ROLL. then at about 80mph he would blow by me like i was sittin still. The driver was shocked! and this happened about 3 different times. hope this helps.

All of the wheel weight savings gets negated once you put a bigger tire than stock on it. These will only be a benefit if the tire itself weighs the same as stock.

I still say that the best thing for a daily driver is a bit more displacement man.....


when i had my car without the stroker it was making 499 at 408 ft lbs, I added a stroker and the car ended up making 500 whp with 470 ft lbs.... you can't even imagine how much of a difference that makes. The car was nutz!

I will say it again and again, the ulimate daily driver is a 2.3 stroked evo with either a stock turbo or a drop in turbo IE: red / green / white rabbit with bolt ons.... more torque then hp and a blast to drive
