Now that I have your attention, picture this: 2009 Dodge Challenger, Plum Crazy with white decals and interior, 392 Hemi 6 sp. NO a/c, NO radio, NO power windows or door locks.Functional Air grabber hood, T/A rear spoiler. 19 wheels with 255s in front and 315s in the rear. (Each car will come with a t-shirt with this saying on the front " SMOKE THOSE 315s DOWN TO THE RIMS". Let's not forget the TP holder on the dash, because after a 12 second run, YOU"LL NEED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE BUILD THIS CAR. I have $45,000 burning a huge hole in my pocket .
FORGET about Factory Stripped Cars, esp at the premium 6.1/6.4(?) Hemi Level. The VAST majority of potential buyers WANT the car to be well appointed. If you want to get the car to weigh less, you're just going to have to remove equipment, sound deadening, etc. yourself.
