Strip it - it will improve not only acceleration, but handling and braking too. And ditch those 17s for some lightweight 15s

I've been contemplating doing this to mine for ages. Thing is i also like my tunes. I have one 12" sub and a small JL amp so i could maybe build a floor around them or something. I dont care about passengers, means i'll drive less most probably as i'm usually the taxi
