One of the things that made the real Cobras so bad-ass back in the old days is that they only weighed 1,900 lbs. Most of our replicas now weigh around 2,300 - 2,400 lbs. That is a 400 - 500 lb difference, or about 25% !!!! That is huge.
Think about how fast our cars are now, and then imagine if you took 500 lbs out of it !!!
