[QUOTE="YELOSNK, post: 16860033, member: 30747"] I'm looking to do what I can to reduce weight on my '01 Cobra for track driving (nothing competitive). Problem is most of the easy weight savings is over the rear wheels*, so trying to see where I have options to reduce weight on the front. The most obvious answer seems to be to pull the A/C, which if LMR is right nets ~43lbs off the nose, minus whatever the an A/C delete pulley weighs. Even when the car was a DD I almost never used it, and now that it isn't, I don't think I've used it once, as I don't choose to drive it in the rain and prefer my windows down. The only possible scenario I see myself wanting it is the rare scenario of driving to/from the track and it's hot and raining. As an added bonus, I assume the removal of the condenser will help with radiator airflow and thus reduced coolant temps. Am I crazy for wanting to do this? *rear seats, rear seat frame, spare tire, jack, and trunk floor/liner. [/QUOTE]
