If you plan on selling the car one day it's probably not enough to be worth it. If not, go ahead and remove them, then you'll start removing other stuff, and then more. Eventually you'll get to the point where the weight you've removed actually does something.

Re: (jolt-tsp)
strip all your interior. hit that sound deadening tar with a hammer and rip all that **** out. remove your dash and get rid of that firewall mat and more tar (put the dash back). remove ac and power steering and any other BS options. thats close to 200 lbs.
there's lots of little **** you can hack off. it all adds up. every milligram counts

Re: (The Internet Tough Guy)
someone told me once that for every 100lbs you take off you "gain" 15hp. But i dunno. youd have to take a lot out of a hatchie to make a diff. they already rule at weight.

Thats really a broad statement.. he was probably just making a point. A 1000hp motor won't care very much about 100 pounds being dropped, but with an 85hp motor, the difference will probably be enough to actually feel when accelerating.

With my backseats, spare tire including jack, the rear floor matts, and the front passenger seat taken out, i wieghed everything and it came to a total of 99 pounds. It is more wieght savings then you think, but do i honestly feel a difference in performace... not really.

That person probably meant it in the context of "It feels like you gain 15hp with every 100lbs you take off." No matter what the weight of the car is... if you put it on a dyno it will read the same HP at 2200lbs as it will at 2500lbs.
