Interior and crap?
I'm going to the track on Sunday if it's nice. I've got about an hour drive and I'll be the only one in the car.
I thinking of pulling the passenger seat out, rear seat, all the panels and spare tire, jack and all that
SLP Lid/Loudmouth, otherwise stock 2002 Z28, hardtop, cloth, 2.73's, auto, Nitto DR's, stock 16" wheels....
Should I pull my front sway bar off while I'm still at home or should I wait until I get there? The road going to the track is straight, 55mph, 2 lanes....
I'm going to put a ton of air in the front tires when I get close to the track too....
Any other ideas?

Haha..man, I really wouldnt worry about it too much...if you really feel the need, tho, just yank the back seat and spare tire/jack. When you get to removing the passenger seat and such, it just becomes a bit of a hassle. Oh yeah, just disconnect the front sway bar end links and pump up the front tires to 50 psi.

Just remember 100 lbs is worth .10

take out the spare/jack. dont worry about the rest of the stuff, its too much hassle. pulling the sway bar however was a pretty worthwhile thing that i have done.

In my 97 Z, I'd run 14.0 @ 100, but with a 230lb passenger I'd only go 14.2 @ 98 ;)

I would pull the spare jack and pass seat if youy are trying to get a good et. Pull the swaybar off at home b/c you won't notice any difference driving wise with it off unless you try some highspeed 90 degree curves. I unhooked mine a couple months ago and just left it off. The back seats only weigh 25-30#'s where the front weighs almost 50#'s. I leave my interior in except for spare,jack and rear speaker panels. About 50#'s. Good luck

With an air gun it takes me 4 minutes to pull the passenger seat and the rear seats completly out including the seat belts. This right here netted me 97 LBS.
The spare tire and jack:confused: Those left the car the day I bought it.
The front sway bar:confused: YOu still have it on there? I drive my car with skinnies and no sway bar at 90 MPH around soft curves. Remove it.
All of this netted me 188 LBS.

Passenger seat is much easier to remove than the back seats and probably weighs as much as the whole back seat.
