I think Chris meant you might need to upgrade the torana disc brakes if u want to do some racing... Long pedal can be improved quite easily but still is longer than 'normal'.
Front end is your standard double wishbone set up... Like they use in F1... Not impressive at all... Lol. Most of them use a similar set up, it's just how you set them up that makes the difference. Lower the top wishbone mounting point by drilling 2 new holes about 25mm lower and you will pick up a couple of seconds a lap no problems. Get some 'UC' Torana arms with built in caster for some high speed stability.. Also a bigger front sway bar... 27mm ish will do the trick. 2.5 degrees camber ...
Like I said 1:05.6 at Wakefield is the record for a street tyred, street registered Cobra... And it has Torana suspension!
