At the risk of adding further gasoline to this fire, I think it's not a bad idea at all to corner weight a home built car. Several posters have compared or questioned whether a Porsche or a Mustang or whatever was corner weighted by the manufacturer. Well, I'd have to say that they may not weigh each car, but you can be sure that they design it to handle safely, and that they move components around in their design process to optimize the weight balance. It's a moot point anyway, since most don't have adjustable suspension to allow for weight jacking. But remember that we're talking about home built Cobras here. We've all seen really nice ones, and abortions, too. I certainly think that checking and adjusting the corner weights on a vehicle that was built by some guy in his home garage, and potentially has some errors in the assembly or selection/installation of components, would be a good idea. Some of these guys drive their cars daily, and in all kinds of weather. Do you think that having an ill-handling car would increase the risk of an accident when making a panic maneouver on a rain-soaked highway or, heaven forbid, a snow covered road?
