haha, that thing became a go-kart... I wonder why it's not as fast as a Lotus at that weight considering that weighs less and the Lotus only makes 190 hp.

Probably due to the way they put the power to the ground.

I still have that issue. I pull it out when ever my wife complains about her car. She has a 2001 Nissan Sentra GXE. I point out that I have plans for it and then she shuts u for a few months.

thats why i never understood people takin out the back seat
it weighs next to nothing and wont give you any huge advantage unless you need room for a roll cage then maybe its worth removing

ok ok i know mine was out when i was in highschool too but that was beacuse i didnt wanna be the class taxi driver
