An F1 car would not attain 4g's on a skid pan because it would be relying totaly on mechanical grip so would more than likely only achive slightly better numbers than the Caterham. F1 cars only pull 4g's when they are fully loaded with downforce in high speed bends, at the Becketts complex at Silverstone the driver momenterally sees 9g's as he changes direction at 170mph.
Back on topic, I have the carpet out of my car at the moment because it was soaking wet. I can't really say the car is much louder without the carpet.
I gutted my interior prior to driving it to the body shop. The increase in road noise was MASSIVE, even with the stock deadening material still in place. I was surprised how bad it was.
When my other car had it removed i didnt notice it maybe because
I had no cat and the engine/exhaust was normaly loud.
I had a lot of sirens behind me because you know the 1JZ haves no torque & is missing .5ltrs and cant rev or anything like that.
Then there is your avg stereo that washes the noise out.
Also there is external sound deadoning i left in that goes around the tunnel and on top of that the supra is a 3500lb tank that haves so many layers of steel on its not like a tin roof in a hale storm.
Me personaly i like a little engine noise here and there like when i open the engine up I like the sound of a cat getting raped. It kinda turns me on Am i alone on this?

No, but I don't know what that has to do with taking out any of the interior.
I can hear my engine/exhaust just fine with the windows up or down.

personally, i think part-outs are a great thing, unless people are parting out perfectly good cars with just one problem another person is willing to fix...like rod knock...
it gives the rest of us a chance to get resonably-priced replacement parts that we otherwise couldnt get. and since there are so many other supra owners, the level of part outs seems fitting...
OH MY GOODNESS!!! 2 posts to 1000!! hehe
Parting out a car that would otherwise go to the junkyard is good. Parting out a car that only needs a little work is lame. MelloYello parting out his car was ultra lame...
