Evertything thats stressed has Ti bolts, everything that isnt has Aluminium bolts. Weight mah boy....or lack of it! Ti is 40% less then steel.
Aluminium is about 60% less.
Saved over 3/4kgs alone on the diff... ) so over all should save about 2kgs or more.
No its not cheap, however its a lot cheaper then getting lots more grunt from the engine! Also has the benifits that it dosent corrode like steel so
it looks pretty!!
2 kgs  how is is it going to cost you?
you can get same effect by eating less pies, removing the passenger seat or puttin in 1/2 a gallon of fuel. 
Assuming your car is really light, say 400 kg which is unlikley, you are talking of 0.5 % - your 0-60 times will tumble.
