Default Butler/Arntz Cobra Weight?
Have any of you weighed your Butler/Arntz Cobras on a scale?

...with say a 1/2 tank of gas and a...

- iron small block Chevy, alu. heads?

- iron small block Ford, alu. heads?

- iron FE Ford, alu. heads?

Some of the early 80s articles claim some light weights with SB Chevy engines. I tend to believe they are tad heavier with that nice thick fiberglass and stout chassis. I am also referring to a car with Aldans, front/rear sway bars, rollbar, etc. I'm trying to settle this with a friend who is making some performance comparisons trying to get some ideas... Thanks.
