As Nic says, not a great deal, but every little helps. In actual fact the boot floor is also quite light really as well.

lighten the load by removing everything that you dont need.

1.460 kg, but they will vary a bit.
I seriously doubt it! |

lighten the load by removing everything that you dont need. carpets, back seats etc... then change your doors, bonnet and bootlid to fibreglass ones. replace the windows with perspex. go coilover on suspension which removes the heavy rear subframe and replaces it with a much lighter beam. really good advice this, wonder why i hadn't thought of all that, |

Its not just the weight, remember it creates drag scooping air into it.
