Driving the Skip Barber Formula car I felt like I could nap between corners.

scottj: I assume you were 2-3 seconds [i]behind[i]the Z06?

The only Cobra I've driven was a 2002 SPF with an original sideoiler and Billboards. I understand the tractor handling analogy now. I was very disappointed, although the look and sound was perfect. I'm hoping the BMW suspension in the BDR will feel better
I have driven a BDR and a SPF and I don't think there is much difference in the handling dept. Look at Dennis Olthoff's SPF options if you want to set your car up for the track. He is a nice guy and a racer so he will speak your language.

Or you can buy an KMP with Penske suspension.........
