ofcourse!!! usually the next generation of a car means it is better! and since the evo falls into the sport car department then its measured as one!
a sport car is measured on how it handles, how fast it can go and how much it weight!!! why!? because like the member before said! Weight affects every aspect of a car! the evo went from a purebread horse to a quick donkey...
sadly to say its the weight the only thing that is stopping me from buying this car! now i wonder...why couldnt ive been in the market a couple of years before... this thing is heavy, looks similar to a mazda3/6, and now its automatic...

All weight-saving isn't created equal. Reducing rotational mass - wheels, tires, rotors - has the most effect on performance, while reducing the weight of an exhaust (for example) with a low center of gravity has a minimal effect.

you can spend alot of money buying less weighted parts or you can start by stripping the interiors. you can remove alot of weight by stripping out the interior. don't forget the spare tire and jack too.
i don't suggest anyone doing that unless your car is a weekend track warrior.

1) I will start by reduce the limit my intake of burgers & fried chicken
2) 2-3 days per week workout at the gym or some running
3) Less or no suger in my coffee.
My personal target is to save about 20 pounds from my car using my above method....Best part is,the weight reduction stays that in every car I will drive. Best value if you ask me.

It's mainly for drag racing, you may want to ask them directly if it's ok for daily driving.
