Probably less than 5 pounds. On the other hand, note the old racer's adage that the easiest way to remove 100lbs from a racecar is to remove 1lb in 100 different places (also sometimes said this way: "it's easier to find a 100 places to lose a pound that to find 1 place to lose a 100 pounds"). In that light (pardon the pun), the hollow carpet fibers might not be such a humorous measure, imho.

I totally agree with this. Weight is weght. Whethor you find it from fibers, nuts, bolts, or changing a cast iron block to aluminum; weight losed is weight losed. Now of course most honda guys just gut the hell out of their car supras also have that same option. Also before you make a run make sure you take a dump first cause thats 5 less pounds going down the track and make sure you dont eat anything too. O and dieting also helps. If you are a girl, breast reductions help bwahahaha.

Sarcasm IS offensive humor. True, it can be a funny with your friends, or done by seinfeld, but really doesn't have a place here.

As 'The King' would say, "Spank you very much" . (hee,hee
