350EVO used to have a race car that was around 2850 lbs, but sold it to someone.
Performance Nissan Race Team has some lightweight NA Z's
but yeah the list of stuff can go on forever...

that's pretty much ALL you can do and if you did it all, it really wouldn't be streetable.
By the time you spent all the money to do it all, you might as well have just bought a non-street legal race car that comes standard with more power and less weight and the extra money saved towards track day consumables like tires, brake pads, rotors, oils, etc
An arial atom would be more streetable and actually street legal compared to a fully gutted race Z, and it'd cost less, be more rare, hold it's value more, cost less to track, AND still be way way faster being 1300 lbs and 300 hp
