Its not my car, just a pic I got from the net. My car is a 2000 Mustang GT. I bought it with those wheels on it.

He did not say that was his car he said that they were like the ones on there. And that pic is a real cobra R.

HA HA HA . I bet all of you guys feel pretty stupid now. All that talk about how he shouldn't copy and it was the real thing the whole time. I'm sorry but this is too funny. Maybe next time look better at the pic.

Yeah... I looked it up and it looks like a real one but you can never tell till the hood is up. So no! I still feel smart.

So, back to my question. Are my wheels heavy or light? don't really guess it matters though, 'cause I like 'em so i'll probably stick with them. also if that would have been my cobra, I would have been pretty mad. Maybe you should look a little closer next time!!

Hmm weight reduction... Rip out AC, Powersteering, Stereo and components, passenger seat, rear bench, get racing drivers seat, get carbon fiber Cobra R style hood, carbon fiber trunk, no spoiler, Steeda Ultra-lite II wheels, remove wipers, remove foglights and headlights (replace with plastic piece), relocate battery to back trunk, remove spare/jack etc...., tubular K-member A-Arms, lighter driveshaft, radiator, springs (and all other suspension components) etc.... cross-drilled vented brakes, lighter radiator, 1/4 tank of gas, remove wiper fluid resovoir, rip out carpeting, console plastic, shifter boots, airbags, roof liner, side mirrors, side scoops, lighter composite hardware, rip out all power windows/locks, rear lights,... get lighter steering rack, axels... At this point you should be sufficiently light. If you want to go lighter, get a fox and do the same
