Handling and ride
The car handles extremely well on the track yet is still fully steet-legal. The suspension can be tuned from competition firm to cruising soft in 1 1/2 hours.

• The front and rear suspensions are quickly adjusted for ride height and shock rate.
• The rear springs can be changed in less than 15 minutes.
• The rear suspension, built by Urbine Peformance, is a 3 link with panhard bar similar to the latest Mustang components.
• The car, without driver is 51%/49% F/R weight distribution and with driver is 49% / 51% this excellent distribution is due to the basic chassis layout and the large number of upgraded aluminum components under the hood.

Recent performance

• This car has never lost to another Cobra replica including Factory 5 and Superformance models in the 7 years it has competed in solo events.
• Even before the rear suspension was upgraded the car took many firsts and seconds in Regional and Divional SCCA Autocrosses in B- Prepared and E-Mod.
• Since the suspension and shock upgrades I had 2 1st and a 2nd in the recent SCCA SM-2 class. The 2nd place finish was to a co-driver in the same car.
• The very recent addition of the power steering has further improved the performance of the car on tight courses and greatly eases driver effort under all circumstances.
• Currently, competion rims are 16 x 8. There is sufficient clearance to accommodate 10” front and 12” rear.

Optional extras

• Lightweight, professional built, custom steel 4500 lb capacity trailer with electric brakes on both axels. Weighs only 1.200 lbs, allows towing behind many minivans and compact SUV’s. Brand new. Additional $2,200.
