Lets see copper is 3.34 times the weight of aluminium. Anyone know how many square feet to cover one of these overweight pigs? I'm guessing an ally body would be about 150-200 pounds or about 450 less than a copper one?? I don't think the horsepower per pound ratio would be really messed up!

If your world was out of kilter because you didn't have Ernie's input then you need some serious work.

Aluminum bodies are closer to 50 lbs.

You know if I had a few other Kirkhams and some extra money burning a hole in my wallet, I might consider picking up a copper one.
But If I did have the money for only one Kirkham, which I don't, I would want an aluminum body. I'd rathter have the lighter car than the pretty one.

That car would look really cool- If I were driving it with my teeth capped in copper. Maybe even a fur coat on for total coolness..
