I was just wondering if there is anything that can be removed off of a 98 Cobra that could save some weight. i know there was a 25 lb. weight in passenger side of the front bumper and the dogbone on the 94's. And was just wondering if these things are on 98's as well or if there are other things that can be easily removed without really effecting driveability?

The rear axle NVH piece that hangs off of the pumpkin by the driveshaft. Good for an 8 lb savings and not that effective when left on anyway. Rear seat delete?

By not affecting driveability I assume you mean leaving A/C, stereo, electric accessories, etc?

If not, do what the factory did w/ the "R" models.

If I was to get rid of the A/C how much weight would it save and how hard would be be to remove?

just think of it like this you only gain an AVERAGE of a tenth on your time slip for every 100 pounds taken off, its worth it if your trying to break into 12's or 11's anything more who cares, anythiing less and weight sure as hell isnt a factor anymore
