[1985 CCX]

I owned CCX3682 and never found the car to lack in the handling department. I did want to make the conversion to coilover however for detail versus handling issues. I have driven both torsion and coilover on the street and never noticed a difference. On the track I am sure with a skilled driver there might be difference however that would be a limited few who could take advantage.

At the NH Vintage races the fastest car on the track was a Jaguar XKE (torsion bar and heavier than Cobra).

I would say don't let your decision be based upon torsion bar as CCX Cobras use both high quality suspension types. Keep in mind a CCX is a high quality car and if you insisted can make the conversion to coilover down the road.
