Sacrifices?

Weight does have an effect on accelleration, handling, and top speed performance, but drilling through those parts would sacrifice the structural integrity. And it wouldn't lighten it that much, either. In my mind, taking out some of the unneeded screws or the body kit would be more effective. If you decide to do it, tell us how it worked out.
