Default Question for FWD stocker racer on weight removal ?

From your past experience, what is the maximum weight that can be removed on a stock production FWD car, in order to fit an upper class in Stock category.
In my case (It’s still a project) I need to remove around 500 lbs to fit the AAF/S.
Is it logical ???

2 to 3 hundred pounds is pretty straight forward , 5 hundred will be a challenge .

No.
You don't take weight out of a FWD car..You take it out from the dashboard, back, and add it to the front..Gobs of it. ;-)
