Cobra weight distributions?
Can someone give me some information on Cobra weight distributions CG and so on with a SBF. I know there are alot of variables from different combination's and Cobra manufactures, I'm looking for front to back percentages, Center of gravity heights and locations etc.
I thought the cobra had close to 50/50 but when I think about how the spring weight ratings differ from front to back how can that be? Is the CG at the transmission near the top if it? Where is the 50/50 line?
I know your wondering " why does he want to know this"? but I never read any in depth discussions on this matter and I am curious?
OK the real story started when I had a discussion with my buddy who raced circle track tour Modifieds for some time. We were talking about spring weight ratings and rebound and compression on some shocks I was thinking about buying. It got deep and I was at a loss to answer some of his questions. I'd like to go back with some answers for a nice winter conversation over some beers.
Thanks
Lou
