[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16104436, member: 68944"] •The trans is heavy, very low, and mounted under the dash aft the wheels obviously. ~280lbs set low and mid. •supercharger is set in the intake valley to lower the center of gravity, it’s cooler is above it. Coolers are light-20lbs maybe. Putting the 70lbs supercharger in the center drops the cog by 5-8”. •the front most weight is carbon composite. That is the entire front clip. •none of the cars you listed have 18lbs carbon fiber wheels. That alone makes hooking up at any speed or load much easier. Heavy wheels create centrifugal forces. This is worse than 1-2% of weight balance. Reining in the forces of 5-10lbs of additional mass of unsprung weight at each corner via suspension geometry and components is similar to the task of managing 500-1000lbs of sprung weight. I’d much rather have a car with 54/47 and 18lbs wheels to launch than 53/47 and 25lbs wheels. One other way to put your mind at ease is simply to suggest you lookup how well supercharged gt’s and gt350’s hook up. [/QUOTE]
