:rolleyes: Don't listen to the self appointed autocross experts who say that. Those who strip their interior for the sake of autocrossing/racing their 16 second bucket of crap, automatically waive their right to complain about added weight and road noise.

A roll of dynamat weighs what, 20 pounds at best? How much do your subs weigh? How much does your girlfriend weigh? How much do the jugs of antifreeze/windshield washer fluid/oil/jumper cables/tools in your trunk weigh?

I'm sorry, but adding 20 pounds to my car for the sake of a annoyance-free drive is money and weight damn well spent.

For every 100lbs you lose, you shave off a tenth of a second on the quarter mile approximately. A TENTH OF A SECOND FOR 100 LBS!!! Do you realize how insignifcant that time difference is? And how much you have to strip to reduce the weight by 100 lbs?

Gee, might as well drain all your oil and antifreeze if you wanna save weight. :rolleyes:
