How much better is lighter?

[DocDirk]

Thanks for your replies, I'm still on the learning curve. I was hoping to see answers along the line of:

"Lighter is great until you reach a HP/# ratio of xxxx then you'll have more handling issues than you would like"

or then "......your comfort factor below 1900# is severely compromised for the performance trade-off"

or "I've driven one at xxxx# and it was something I wouldn't want to do from SF to LA"

or "It's a hoot and the lighter the better for all applications!!"

or "Build a superlight only if you intend to track it primarily"

or "You need more money than you'd think to actually pull off a very light cobra build - I've done it"

etc.

Well, maybe building a superlight cobra isn't done as much as I'd thought it might. I just like extremes and would consider it a fun project if I could get an idea of what I would be getting into.

Regards!
