Default weight drop the s2000

cwest makes a complete carbonfiber kit for the s2000. i read in some magazine that an s2 built by cwest themselves with this kit wieghs in at 2100 lbs.

how did they manage to shed 700 lbs. i'm not asking as askeptic, i believe it, i am just curious as to how it happened. anybody know?
