True CG is right about seat level on the transverse plane ( up , down ), but on the coronal plane ( front, back ) you have basically added 90lbs to the front . The effect of the weight reduction won't come into play until you get to a panic situation . If you ever have to make a quick lane change or a quick lane change with heavy braking you will encounter severe understeer . Also if you change gears on a turn you will encounter oversteer . I mean that the over/under steer will be more pronounced than usual .
Idahotom , check out this vid of me on track . In this vid I have done the exact same weight reduction you described . Pay special attention to 1:03 to 1:08 . That oversteer came from me just releasing the gas while turning . If I had been on stock tires the car would have probably oversteered past the point that I could recover .

Try a track day or autox to learn about your car's abilities . You will definately have fun while learning about your handling . Not to mention you will meet some pretty cool people .
Oh if you do decide to do Track/Autox ... your dog will need a helmet
