I love cycling and seeing heavy guys on carbon bikes, cracks me up every time.

Yeah, junk food is bad. Much better to sniff gas fumes from a carb and drive fast cars with no safety goodies :D |

You're new here. I don't drive my Cobra, so issues here with gas fumes and fast cars with no safety goodies. :):CRY: |

Mine is always faster with a passenger and lots of fuel. It doesn't spin the tires as much. I'm sure a passenger and full tank add 200 plus pounds.

It did go around the block once - that was it :)
Remain patient - it's going to go around again.

Uhhhh, haven't you been weighing parts now for the better part of two years? :confused: And I'll include that weighing thread for everyone's ease of cross-reference: http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/era-...98-weight.html |

I have a 42 gal tank and can tell you that it's an entirely different experience when I run it full!;)

You're not well distributed front to back with a full 42?

I corner balanced with 1/2 tank. Was quite amazed at difference with a full tank!:eek: My bad on that one. You just need to be aware how much tail weight you are carrying at all times. This I know. Almost the hard way.;) |

If/when I need a new tank, a 4-2 is goin' in :cool:

Just be ready when you fill it up at the 76 station with race gas. My credit card company actually declined once because they figured no way someone could spend that much at one stop!:eek::LOL:

I forget. Is the standard Kirkham gas tank 33 gallons? |

I've heard 30 and 27/28 recently. Maybe we should ask David.
Never heard 33.

Slightly off subject....
I have the 42 gallon tank. When it's half full I usually need 20+ gallons and add 2 64oz. cans of Octane Supreme to the tank. Wow, what a transformation. Great starting, no run on, and a crisper exhaust sound. Still less expensive than 100+ pump gas and it has lead.

Yes - that's great stuff if your engine needs it. I thought it was off the market now but it looks like it's still out there with a slightly different name. |

I'm sure you're right with 30. 33 was a guess from memory.
30 seems plenty to me. |

But I'm thinking that "30" is the same way a 2x4 is 2" by 4".
If I'm not mistaken, I heard it from DK. I think %/
