Ditch the sunroof!
If you're auto, swap to 5 speed.
Corbeau seats ARE light (Forza is 16 lbs).
C/f Hood makes a noticable difference.
RELOCATE THAT BATTERY! And while your at it, get a 51R or smaller.
No interior is the best. Ditch the carpet and headliner, passenger sun visor, rear seatbelts (heavy!), floor mats, EVERYTHING.
Electric fans.
Find all the wires your not using and cut them out (can save 10 lbs).

Weight savings makes all the difference when you drive the mountain.
Be sure not to ditch any safety equiptment you still use however, this includes airbags, front seatbelts, door reinforcement bars, bumper supports, dash supports, etc. Although these things are HEAVY, its not worth losing somebodies life over.

For the hardcore only.
Get a smaller cell phone.
Shave, and get a haircut
Hit the gym.
Drive naked.
