It is, and that's on top of the 14 stone person they took out when it went from FF to Cup.

Thats a fair weight saving bud

Going by your username Mark Cup, does that mean you had a clio cup before the stripping commenced ?

Or did you start with a 172FF ?

Also what mods you done ?

LOL at Burp.

Started with a Cup, filter, decat, exhaust, ECU, brakes, and weight removal is all.

Ok Mark you've given us figure's but how does all this weight loss feel on the road/track. Do you believe its worth it for the gains you get?

I take it the cup is not used daily?

It's not used daily anymore no.

It's louder (obviously) and a lot more 'jittery'. With at least 150+ kgs less than a normal FF it reacts to everything on the road surface, and responds to throttle and steering inputs instantly.

Hard to say really though as it's transformed over time. I'd love to drive a completely standard 172 Cup back-to-back for comparison.

Worth it? I think so. I always planned to do this when it retired from commuting, but I never really thought it would end up feeling as good and sharp as it does - especially when you think that the engine's pretty much standard and the suspension is too.
