Yeah a lighter car will accelerate and stop faster. I remember reading somewhere that taking 100lbs off the car is the same as adding like 10 horsepower or something like that. I think what Mawler is trying to say is that just stripping interior pieces won't do much. To really feel a difference you would probably have to go the whole nine yards - strip interior, remove sound deadening, lightweight bucket seats, remove most/all the dashboard and use fibreglass fenders, hood, trunk etc. That's what you'd do with a race car but if this is for a road car it's a little extreme IMO.
