It's certinally possible. I could still lose some weight off mine. I could save 2-3 kgs per wheel by changing to propper racing ones. I still have steel rear drums and really heavy radius arms too.

mine is 565 kgs, with around 4 gallons of fuel. I can't see how I could make mine much lighter, although I do have a lot of cage in mine, it's all thin wall t45, I have ally radius arms, and kad rear disks and ally calipers. Ally calipers at the front, and carbon door, front end, bonnet, boot lid, boot floor, dash etc. My wheel are force split rims, which are only a few grams heavier than mb's. There are some things on my car which need to stay, as my car will have an MOT on it soon, and not from a mate in the pub.
