   The whole way or keep it comfy. You need to go far enough to balance the pros against the huge list of cons

   If you want to see what stipping the vts will be like then take out the rear seats.
   
   That way you will get an idea of what its like and can always put the parts back in when the time comes to sell it.

    You will feel it more in the handling, not as big a jump in straight line performance.
    Makes it much more fun round the twisty's
