SN95 1994 Cobra #1555 Build Thread Profile - SN95 Mustangs

Just wanted to share a few updates on the car! Today, I knocked out a battery relocation, which shaved a solid 31.4 pounds off the front left corner.

Also, a few weeks back, I installed a Sparco Evo L seat. This saved 20 lbs from the stock seat. I know a roll bar is highly recommended when running a fixed-back seat, so that’s definitely in the plans for later this year or spring of next year. I will say, the difference from the old seat is night and day, even just on twisty back roads. I can't wait to see how it feels on the track!

For the install, it is fixed-mounted. I originally bought a Sparco slider, but it put me too high and my helmet was hitting the door frame. I ended up using a Planted seat bracket. Overall fitment was great, though I did have to open up one of the holes a little bit to get it perfectly lined up.

I would like to get to a track day in Aug sometime, but might just hold off till Cruise for a Cause at Blackhawk on Sept 30th. Happy 4th everyone! Be safe!

Hello
Really like your build so far.
What class are you racing your mustang cobra?
Thinking of building a 351w for my 95 cobra but not sure of engine will be legal with scca rules.
Thanks

Thank you! I am not building my car for any particular racing class. Just HPDEs and some occasional street driving. I am thinking of starting to save for some more power. I went suspension first and don't regret it one but but with stock power you still feel like the slowest car on track. However, the plus side is that I don't have enough power or speed to get myself in too much trouble for the setup I have, so I am perfectly content at this point.
