By the way all... the stock spare according to the weight savings thread is 35 lbs. a car that weighs 3300 lbs with appoximately 260 whp (just a guess on the baseline) has 0.07492795389049 hp per lb... so taking out your spare is like adding about 2.6 hp... so remember when you add a mod that adds weight, though you are gaining some, you are also losing some.... i'm sure most of you know that... it's just a little fact.

*edit* actually it's 3470 lbs ... I also added my weight of 170 lbs. I guess it's time to cut again :-D
