48+ lbs of Porsche Engineering!!!

I finally decided today was the day to rip out the stupid sub and relocate the amp and CD changer that the PO had installed... well now I know why they didn't hide the CD changer, mounting it on a board on top of the PS cubby in the trunk (cutting the carpet and ruining it at the same time too) - well, here is the most interesting piece of Porsche Engineering I have seen. PN 781 242-3 V-67XO-1709-EXXX Why did they stick that in the trunk - to rebalance the car?? It must weigh 48+ lbs! Sure is nicely bolted down, cause I sure wouldn't like to be in the way of that LUMP flying at your head in an accident!!! Anyone else remove this thing? Any adverse effects? I think the gas mileage will soar with it out!

...but imagine pulling 85lbs(heavy thing, spare, tools) out of the rear of a Cabriolet (rear:front ratio much different than Coupe already) while being low on gas. The handling characteristics are completely different.
