Weights (was: RE: [Shotimes] Power Seats (Was: Convention 2004 DVD))

That's correct. The RF corner is the lead weight on the MTX.

The ATX is just simply a boatanchor.  The weight of the trans isn't really
so bad, but the fact that the whole package is shifted forward is a killer.

The reality is that you can trim weight and move components as much as you
want on the SHO.  You will still end up with a car that will never truly
have a proper balance for optimum handling.

I think the passenger side is already heavier anyway, even with a driver in
the car.  Since the engine is biased towards the passenger side (and the 91
lb tranny on the driver's)

I think at the 03 convention most of the SHO's w/ driver corner weighted
heavier on the passenger side.  (you also have a 45 lb battery/tray on that
side)

I still want one of them alum bodied sables for a track car :)
