I'd say it's closer to 200 lbs, a noticable difference and handles much better. Don't have any times though.

If I had to guess I'd say 150-200lbs.
I've been wanting a race with one, but an ALMOST stock one like the one I raced. I have a friend with an 03, but I'm scared of it LOL. He's got a KB with heads, cam, and forged internals and a suspension and drag radials to handle it all.
I'd be scared too. That is until the road turns.
congrats on the win man. i kno youre not stock, so, very nice win. those Cobra's are fast(as you said). and obviously, your car is too.

i bet your friends Cobra is freekin CRAZY !!!! hes got aftermarket forged internals ?? u do kno they come stock with forged internals.....and he would have CAMS !!!! not "cam". haha

Hmm, how little I know about those cobra's[&o].
All I know is that my friend's is built to hell and back, and I'm not even close to being ready to take it on.

Nice race man, sounds like you have a nice Talon there!

Man though, a 6 puck clutch? How is that driving on the street. I've heard they are absolutely unbearable to drive... it's like either NO GRIP or GRIPPPPP!!!!

I love my Exedy twin plate (for what I got to test drive of it). It holds a ton of power and has very close to stock feel. It ****ing better be good for how much it cost though [:'(]

Thanks, and LOL what you've heard is true, once in a while I'll be a little off on the gas or clutch pedal timing, and the whole damn car will shake, instant engagement.

Hey BoOsTeDeAgLe is that a rusty exhaust manifold i see in your turbo pic? Come on man, get on that, those arent that expensive to replace.

Sorry to dissapoint, but that's an evo III manifold, and as long as it performs I dont care, but that is what you'll see on every dsm except the guys that went out and bought tubular manifolds. To me, that is a waste of money, I'd rather go faster for my $.
