Spare tire and carrier

[edram454]

I just recently was detailing my car and decided to remove the spare tire and the carrier completely from the car. How much does it weigh and how many of you in the forum have done this to get rid of excess weight? My exhaust sounds better too and I felt the difference the moment I drive it around my neighborhood. Taking that weight directly from the rear of the car helps. I dont care if I blow off the tires thats always nice anyways. I will never use it so why carry it around. In all my years of owning vettes I have never had a incident where I needed a spare tire.

I have a 24 hour road service contract so where ever I am they will come and pick it up on a flat bed. If it tears up the wheel then I will buy another one. I wonder how many of you have done this??
