Need to explain yourself a bit. Removing electronics won’t make you go fast.

Remove spare tire and tailgate. Replace power seats with Recaros. Remove AC compressor and get replacement pulley with shorter belt. Remove mechanical fan and replace with electric. Get lighter wheels and fiberglass hood.

Trouble is, remove the wrong electronics, and you stop moving at all. Really, there is very little you can remove before the engine will simply stop running.

Remove the battery and then start removing things which no longer work.
