Ha! I hope you don't like listening to music while driving.
I've had just my rear seats out and it's loud!

Yeah, I'm one of those boring old people that believe stripping out the nice bits from your car, really won't make a noticeable difference to your power.

What will you do with that extra ½ second?

personally i wouldnt bother, you dont lose a great deal of weight if its a daily, if you just use it for hooning then crack on

I've taken ALL the stuff out of the boot & the rear speakers out so far. With the wheel, MDF, carpet, jack & so on I think I've taken about 30-40kg's out. CF boot lid will be next

Left the rear seats in tho as I have nice ones, you should def leave the cream leather in

You'd win more speed taking the auto box out tho

6.1 in the back

what do you do, drive with your knees around your ears and your arms fed through your legs

i always thought the rears were just a sugestion

is there more room in the 5th? i have had folk in the rear of the passenger side but never behind me

think there is a 3 to 5 inch gap behind my seat with me driving. there again mine has electric seats, are these bigger or the same?

There is definately more room in the back of the 5th. There was some one 5' 10" behind a 6' 2" guy in mine a couple months ago for a 3 hour round trip
