Default Cobra weight

I'm interested to see the weights (overall and front/rear balance if available) of the various Cobra's out there.

The WA Cobra Club organised a technical day and "weigh in" today, on the corner scales at LF Performance.

The results were very interesting to say the least. Mine came in at 1177kg's, but the interesting thing was the balance, mine was rear heavy by a decent margin (around 48/52 I think).... My car was weighed with about 3/4 tank of juice and basically in it's final trim except for carpet and a few minor bits. Problem is, the remaining few kilo's will basically go over the back axle. This will take the total to somewhere around 1190, but blowing the balance even further rearward!!!

Thanks must go to the Cobra Car Club of WA for organising the event, and to LF Performance for hosting it and providing an insight into suspension set-ups.
