Drew,
They weigh about 2800 + -50 w/o driver unless you've done things to lighten them. I think rake is very important for these cars. I think the steering feels a little dead because it is power and not that quick. Eric Hardcastle (EricH) went to a 2003/04 Cobra rack on his WC that made it quicker. A couple of guys (CRS) went to manual and seemed to like it better for feel. Hope to visit TWS this weekend and see you run.
Mike
Good to know on the weight.
Has anyone simply disconnected the PS pump? Not sure if that's possible, but we did that on our E30 and made a world of difference for steering feel.
I'm supposed to have a garage, come on out. Hoping to get into the 1:54 range this weekend. The weather is looking good so far.

Drew,
When you loose the PS pump on one of these it is VERY stiff. Probably not a viable option.

Actually, Eric and I converted ours to a manual rack. I like it - sure it's a bitch at very low pit speed - but track speed, I found it to be quite responsive and a better feel -- one with the road...

If you just lose the belt, yes, but what if you loop the lines?
Is that what you did Panoz26? Or did you replace it all entirely?

We replaced entirely with a new Manual Rack.
