Default To give you an idea........ (or short answer: yes)
Go to a driver event, and bring along a 220 lb friend. After a few laps, kick him out, and see how different the car feels. ;-)

Default Yes daily driver, but stripping weight only for track event..
I was thinking about relocating battery to the rear but worried about how to get all the wiring down the back..

sounds like a good list, as long as you don't need a place for an instructor to sit

Default depends on how you drive it...
trail brake into corners combined with the lighter rear will result in more car rotation.
