Message	I just recently heard of a guy who put on lighter wheels and tires and ran a 3/10ths quicker 1/4 mile. The weight savings was approximately 42 pounds. After putting the stock wheels and tires back on they had to take over 400 lbs out of the car to get those three tenths back. This was not a Z, but I'm sure the principle is the same.
