i am wondering what kind of issues all of the new weight will have on the cobra. the gt is already a very hefty 3,450 pounds .. if a cobra comes out with a bigger motor and blower, irs, bigger wheels, etc... it`s going to weigh way too much...

TomServo92 said:The '05s are approximately the same weight as the '04s (an 04 Mach 1 weighs 3,469, an 04 GT weighs 3,347). I'm not sure where you're getting "all of the new weight". When you consider the '05s will have more horsepower from top to bottom, I think your concerns are unfounded.

Michael Yount said:The G35 and the M3 both have IRS and more attractive static front/rear weight distribution than the Stang - those are the 2 biggest things limiting it's handling. And all 3 are too heavy.
SN95_XB331 said:BTW, Nissan mentioned that having some front weight bias aids in shifting the weight forward for more grip (i.e. apex on a incline? Accelerating in a turn).
