Cool list, although I wouldn't remove the parts on my car. I didn't know how much these parts weigh? I guess some people can do it to transform a street Viper into a true racer.zosicks,
Side exhaust with no cats 40
Fat Albert's lightweight hood 50
Tilton flywheel and clutch 40
Passenger seat 35
Race seat vs. driver seat 18
Heater core assembly 10
Blower motor 6
A/C compressor & clutch 14
Side windows, trim, guides 24

Hope this helps.

I have a question, why isn't there a titanium exhaust for the viper? It would reduce the weight by a lot(40-60lbs?)(cubic inch of titanium is about 40% lighter). I realize it is more expensive. I believe the z06 has a titanium exhaust which saves a lot of weight. Given that material costs are not a huge part of the Viper Exhaust systems costs(it seems mostly to be just the "viper tax"), it probably shouldn't cost that much more.
You could also save at CoscoWheels are a great place to save weight.
hell - after a good Texan beef chilli cook off and a few beers - you could shed another 5lb in there!
