Default Cobra Weights, Etc.

I borrowed a set of digital wheel scales this weekend to weigh my Cobra. Car weighed 2801# (Front 49.3% Rear 50.7%) I was surprised to find the weight as I had guessed at 2500# While I was at it I weighed everything around the shop: My 63 Galaxie weighed 3811# My 69 Cougar weighed 3888# I even weighed my new trailer: 4698# (Less Cobra, but still loaded with gear after the Austin trip) Hooked up trailer to truck, loaded Cobra, and checked trailer tongue weight with the Cobra in different positions (12" can change tongue weight as much as 191# ) Quite a bit can be learned with a set of scales. I guess tomorrow I am going to put them back under the Cobra and play with the adjustments on the coilover shocks. I need a set of these!
