Tas, most 0-60 gain you will get is by shedding some of that 4000lb curb weight. For example Boxter S is 100 less horses, but also 1000 lb lighter. As a result it is faster.

You can also play with differential ratios, but that could make your car really uncomfortable to drive when you are not 0to60ing.

I am sure I don't have to remind to oil K&N filter. I have seen so many dry (and useless) K&Ns that I now advise people to avoid buying cars with one installed. You just never know if PO was ricing or actually knew what he/she was doing.

It's a driver Sini, to strip it down and turn it into a poly carbon skate board with less comforts then a mexican porta potty in siberia would never sail.

I already dumped 300 lbs out of the curb weight with removal of the spare tire and all the crap in the trunk and changed out the headers for stubies that were about 10 lbs a pop lighter. Not to mention all the factory exhaust EPA extra's that I don't need to pass a Washington smog test. I also moved both batteries to the trunk space to gain a drive balancing back as close to 50/50 as I can. Right now I am at 55/45 with all the changes. The biggest weight reduction is in the seats believe it or not. If I wanted to go to non-power, non-lumbar racing seats I could dump another 200 lbs.

I like comfort. I like style. I like power light to light and top end. Sometimes one or two of things trump the other.

I know what you mean, I am the same way.

With your beast I wasn't sure if you are "must be fastest at all costs" guy.
