Balanced Cobra
 
Perth had a day for weighing Cobra's today, with some very interesting results.
The best balanced Cobra belonged to Ross Smith with almost perfect numbers,
'Well done Ross'.

Ross' figures: Front = 49.9%, Rear = 50.0%.
Right = 50.5%, Left = 49.4%

Total weight: 1170 kgs.

We had a club day at Kim Ledger's LF Performance Products workshop in Bentley, WA.
A talk on tyres and suspension from Kim Ledger and Kerry Wade was excellent
and very informative.
As the cars were weighed during the morning we also enjoyed a BBQ lunch put on by the Cobra Car Club WA. A great day enjoyed by all who were there.
Photos are coming.

Was that with a driver in there?

Cheers

That was without a driver Mike, the club has a variety of weighted drivers,
so we concentrated on just the cars. I think having drivers in the cars would
have led to a lot of arguing and lies about what the cars really weighed and
how someone had a bigger breakfast than someone else or a driver hadn't been to the toilet yet.
The excuses would have been endless.

Cobra Make & Engine: G-Force, Ford 5.4 SOHC 3v?
wow I did not think a 5.4 would fit

It is tight, but my G/force is a wide body with a fliptop front,
all my own work.

Huge difference in weights even comparing same make kits.

Very interesting, thanks for posting that Bobby.
