[QUOTE="BenD, post: 1749580, member: 13082"] [b]Cobra/weight/Brakes[/b] The weight issue with the Cobra is definitely a factor. I have been slowly whittling away the weight. I do have the car down to 3577. I don't have the MM K-Member that's been sitting in the Garage for three months installed yet or the Flaming River Steering Shaft. Those items along with my Coil Over suspension, MM Lower Control Arms that is installed I should be able to realize another 50 lbs off the weight and especially off the front end when the K-Member goes in. Plus the K-Member moves the wheel base 3/4" forward, doesn't sound like much, but promises to really help. The Wheels weigh only 17.5 lbs each and 2pc brakes, especially Baer are 4.5 lbs lighter per wheel, StopTech's 2 pc are probably about the same if I can ever get the set up that I want. In any case what ever I end up with they are going to have to be 2 pc, so that probably eliminates the 'OO R package. I'm determined to reduce the unsprung weight at the same time. With what I mentioned above and with Seats, Carbon Fiber Hood, and a Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft, which I may not be able to do until late in '05, I think I can get close to 3200Lbs, without removing the Air Conditioning, or really making the car unlivable. The curb weight of the Ferrari F430 is 3150lbs, the new 500 HP Z-06 probably will come in at or near that weight. And...I only weigh 135 lbs soaking wet. [/QUOTE]
