Default How light can they be?

Ok these cars start out light in fact i think civics weigh about teh same.

So my question is how much mreo can you lighten them up?

Ive seen fiberglass everythign for these cars really.

What i have not seen is frame components anfloor pans and what not made form lgihter materials? Drive shafts? Rear Ends?

Does noone make aluminum components for these i know you can get aluminum dirveshafts for newer mustangs.

How much weight do you think you could save if you used aluminum instead of steel frame rails?

Trying to be somewhere around 2300lbs or less.

Anyone know how much a whole fiberglass front end shaves off?
