Default S6 on a diet?

I know that there are some real limitations to the amount of additional power we can add to our S6's. Until a supercharger option comes along, we can only add so much with filters, exhaust and APR chip. Has anyone given any thought to weight reduction? These cars weigh a ton - actually quite a bit over 2 tons. Any ideas on how to cut weight to improve performance without any massive downside?

Go on a diet, dump the spare and use a repair kit, don't fill the tank (fuel is about 9lbs per gall), lose all of the junk from the trunk, don't pick up hikers (unless they pay). Thats just a few to start with.

you can start cutting pannels and remove radio ... but really, why would you take luxury car ad strip the luxury? would it make more sense to get STi or EVO and make them fligt like bat from hell?
