this is true, you can make your car gain 0.2 sec in the 1/4 mile easy, as long as they drive it the same way.

If that's what you dictate is a "true" street car, fine. Removing the carpet is for true "race" cars maximizing their power to weight ratio. I would never do it but a lot of the old muscle cars running really low times are doing all the weight reduction they can get... I didn't know they were ricers.

did i mention muscle cars being ricers? NO! its an alero not a track car or a muscle car , but removing ur carpet etc etc on a daily driven car isnt goin to make a huge difference, im more impressed by a car with every option and all the goodies runnin fast like bj's then a some car that u cant even use the AC on

Whether it be a big time muscle car or a tuner (which you called a ricer), 100 lbs of weight reduction is .10 seconds on the quarter mile. So the fact that its an Alero, and not a corvette, is no excuse to avoid weight reduction if you want to get good track times.
