Default A6 on a Diet

There are tons of posts about how we can et better performance from our engines, but very few about the next step. One of the major flaws of the A6 is how heavy it is. So once you get the max hp out of your car, upgrade transmission, and slap some new shocks on that bad boy, how can we put our A6 on a diet?

carbon fiber the whole car, remove all seats and put lighter seats ( or remove heaters ), remove your spare tire and that is really about it. Unless you wanna go crazy with AC gutting the full inside you would get 15-30 pounds max from that. Custom carbon fiber is the way I am going with new seats.
