Hmmm, relocating the battery sounds tempting, but I like my hatch area as well. I'll still think about it.
I ask, because I'm 99% sure I'm going to trade in for a 2.3, and figured I can order it to my liking to help out in autox. My current car was off the lot, so I have a almost full package. I know the sunroof isn't helping me any.
Interior must stay, since I still want to play in STS. But if its only like a 50 pound difference, then I guess I could ante up a little for the power windows and/or locks, or get the base model and not even think of removing the AC.
