Question Curb Weight of a 2004 Cobra ?

Anyone know how much a 04 cobra weighs w/o driver. My brother (doesnt know too much about GM's) argues that the cobra lighter than my car. I know F-bodys arent light cars, but i thought the cobra was heavier. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm gonna have to say the Cobra is heavier, 03-04 has the iron block, weight of the Eaton up front, IRS, T56(compared to earlier models), etc. Not to mention, the f-bodies sport composite fenders, the Mustang's got steel fenders.

Umm. No. Around 3600 for coupes and 3800 for convertables. My friend weighed his coupe with a solid rear and a full 20# nitrous bottle and it weighed around 3550. Theyre heavy but nowhere enar 3800 pounds for the coupes.

Yeah a solid axle is a weight reduction mod switching to that alone loses 150 pounds.

I actually have owned a 2003 cobra with a irs and with a solid axle.

That's what we thought. Turns out the axle is not as light as claimed. Full interior. with nitrous, full tank of gas almost, and the solid rear. I don't know where some of you guys get your numbers from anyway. The coupe is rated at 3665 and the vert is rated at 3780. Those motors are heavy. Heavy motor plus the blower is bound to add weight.
