I have a 98 cobra and looking to do a little weight trimming. Are there any easy things to start with that will reduce a significant amount off the bat?
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

CRACK!!!!!!!! You'll lose weight and all your teeth plus you'll pick up a tenth or two with the 100 lbs your gonna drop. No seriously a k member, rear seat delete, jack, spare, anything you don't find useful like rear view mirrors trunks hoods no everyone else here summed it up!!!!

Sway bar, rear seat delete, spare + jack. That would drop around 100lbs

Thats probably the most you can take out without sacrificing much creature comforts (like radio) + driveabiltity (Tubular Kmember, etc).

If you are doing this for drag purposes you can always disconnect your sway bar end links. Really easy to do, and it really helps in getting weight transfered to the rear. Only downside is that you lose some cornering ability.
