For weight removal suggestions that don't sacrifice safety, for starters get a lighter battery, FRP/CF Hood (you could remove the latch and use pins, but if not installed correctly, it will undermine my safety point), remove the spare tire, lightweight exhaust (Ti?), remove passenger seat, remove A/C components, remove the tire jack and iron, lighter flywheel and crank pulley, CF drive shaft (as previously suggested), emissions removal, there might be more, but that is the jist of it.

Now if safety is not priority, you don't mind road noise, and don't care for music do the following in addition to the above:
replace the steering wheel with a lighter one, remove airbag assembly (if equipped), remove sound deadening and carpet interior as suggested, remove bumper support, remove all speakers and stereo equipment, remove the read deck lid, remove (cut) excess metal from the trunk area (spare jack compartments and such), smaller aluminum radiator with single electric fan, fender linings, seatbelt assemblies with exception to the driver side unless using a harness, etc. I know there is more, but you can search for that.

If you are a tough guy, you could also remove the PS pump and belt.
