[QUOTE="IronTerp, post: 5504433, member: 12702"] Bought a new scale for work a couple of weeks back and brought it home this past week for a little weighing.....The scale is a professionally calibrated commercial model made in Germany. I'm always looking for some simple weight reduction mods that won't compromise the comfort/appearance of the Cobra and/or can be temporarily removed relatively easily for drag day duty. Here's what I found: [B][U]03' COBRA DRAG STRIP WEIGHT REDUCTION[/U][/B] Spare tire...................................-26.4 lbs Jack/crow bar..............................-6.6 lbs Trunk pad...................................-6.0 lbs! Mott bar (under diff).....................-7.8 lbs Front sway bar/brackets................-12.4 lbs Rear seat bottom.........................-11.0 lbs Rear seat back.............................-25.6 lbs Rear seat head rest.......................-5.6 lbs Rear seat bottom support bar..........-5.0 lbs Rear deck amplifier.......................-23.0 lbs MAC LT's w/ OR Prochamber...........-10.0 lbs (stock mid pipe/manifolds=52.8, MAC LT's/Prochamber =42.8) Odyssey battery/bracket................-22.2 lbs (stocker=37.6, Odyssey=15.4) Front 15x3.5" Bogarts/ET Front........-53.2 lbs (OEM Chrome w/ F1's=49.8 each, Skinny setup=23.2 each) Rear 16x10" Bogarts/Hoosier FS.......-26.8 lbs (OEM Chrome w/ F1's=49.8 each, Rear setup=36.4 each) UPR K member kit.........................-65.0 lbs Front Passenger Seat.....................-43.0 lbs [B]Total......................................-[U]349.6 lbs!!![/U] [/B] Notes: -I run a cardboard rear seat delete at the track (tacky I know....), but be careful with the weight of the rear seat delete kit you may buy.
