At the extreme end is fiberglass lift off panels and interior removal plus replacing the cast brackets with alloy ones. Even further is a spaceframe but that is getting very serious then.
My racecar has all the support ribbing cut off the panels so they flex and flap a bit and removed all the stick on noise deadener with dry ice (old trick to make it break easy). And even has the shift cables all exposed. I keep getting told that it would only be a few pounds for all that but I have the road car to look pretty, 328 is all business.

Well ya, but thing is is there is so much of that plastic paneling you could strip off the interior, so it is only a few pound, but i can see why you'd do it. Did you completely take out all the carpets in it? If i were making a car for racing i would go nuts ripping s*** out
I personally don't have a/c or power locks/windows, so that saves some weight for me, plus on a 20+ year old car you really don't need that crap.
