Is it necessary to take passenger seat out and drain out the washerfliud.
To gain more ''SPEED and SEC'' at the tack.Your only taken out about 35punds is it worth it.

I weighed my 99 Coupe a few months ago and it weighed in at 3145 lbs. We couldnt believe it, so we did it over and over. I once took the seat out and ran my fastest time 7.3 @ 98 in a 1/8th. Whether that made a differance I dont know, but every bit of less weight will help out

Every pound is worth it. Take out 100 lbs out of the car could be about a 10 hp gain
Take 1 pound off the wheels, and that is almost like removing 6 1/2 lbs out of the car.
1 lb or rotating wt removed ~ 6 1/2 lbs static wt.
Good luck
