Hi Jeff,

Actually, I am not really concerned with narrowing the track. And I will tell you why and you can tell me if I am full of it.

Yes the track at the front will be about 2" narrower than the 03, but (on the other hand) the track will be considerably wider than a 65. Also, the wheel base has been extended 7" which should shift the center of gravity (in relation to the wheels) back quite a bit. I will not know how much until I can actually weigh the beast, but on a stock Cobra the center of the front wheel was right between the 2nd and 3rd cyl. Now the CL of the front wheel is actually in front of the 1st cyl. Ya think that might help a bit with front to back weight distribution???
