Weight of an SPF Cobra?
Yesterday I was passing by a truck stop and figured for five bucks why not put the ol snake on the scale. With a half a tank of fuel, my Superformance came in at 2,600 pounds. Does that seem accurate to you guys? I'm running a Windsor with an aluminum manifold and a Tremec 5 speed. I thought it would be a little bit lighter.

We weighed about 40 SPF's at an event this spring in Hastings, NE. Your weight is right in the mix for others similarly equipped.
:D:D:D:

Hmm. The SPF owner's manual (2nd ed.) says it should come in at 2485-lb for a 351-equipped car, but doesn't specify whether that's dry or wet. A gallon of gasoline weighs about 6-lb, which totals roughly 60-lb for a half tank.
My car is similarly equipped, but I haven't had it on the scale yet. A buddy of mine runs a shop, so maybe I'll see if I can get 'er weighed too.

I weighed mine it was 2620. Thats with a 427 shelby block not to bad if a 351 weighs 2600. I probaly could have got it down to 2600 bye unloading the trunk.
