Well, depending on what you are willing to live with, I'm sure that getting more weight out of your car wouldn't be too hard. For starters you could get lightweight carpeting, or just pull all the insulation off of your stock carpeting; ditch the rear seats/belts; and swap front seats for two racing seats.
