The best handling one rumored is the JBL chassis. I always wondered about the Herb Adams VSE chassis in Carmel, CA (son's taken over the business from what I last heard); it appeared to be an aluminum unibodied-type construction but I've never seen one up close.

I personally like the FFR which is what I bought. The lightest FFR that anyone knows of is one that has a one-off carbon fiber body so it came in at just under 2,000 lbs IIRC. Maybe Don remembers.

Now other chassis can be lighter but perhaps at the expense of rigidity until a well engineered fiberglass tub has been grafted to it but that gets to be a touchy subject unto itself.

CER makes what I consider a really nice suspension system and frame to accept it. But it weighs generally the same as most other cars here. I think the variance between all Cobra kits are going to be +/- 200lbs. on average and guessing a median of 2500lbs. fully constructed with all options and all fluids. But that's just my opinion on the subject.
