[REAL 1]

You must not be lawyer because you obviously didn't carefully read what I said. I did not in anyway say an original or continuation Cobra was "safe". What I did say it is no more dangerous on the street than any "rigid" chassis replica. The "superior" geometry design of modern suspension mean zip as far as safety on the street.

What I also said there are example after example of the new "modern" replica failing in design and construction, with the latest tragic example last week. I haven't seen similar examples of failure with originals or continuation cars. Not saying there haven't been just haven't seen it here. I invited others to enlighten me as the CSX failures they know about causing injury.

Pick your replica. Just name it and take an original Cobra or continuation Cobra and T bone it with your average SUV and regardless of where the frame rails are you are just as dead in any of them. Same for any other impact..take your pick...front rear, 1/2 front etc...Chances are you are not fairing well in either a modern replica with its modern chassis or a Cobra orignial or continuation.

From a dynamic standpoint for track use I pretty much conceded that advances in design would improve handling. You are still left with a 90" wheel base and tremendous power and I don't need to be an engineer to know that still presents issues that require more caution and judicious throttle application than with a longer more stable wheelbase.

I am impressed with your background and technical experience based on your "bloviating". I would love to see pics of your Cobra. I'll look it up in the Registry put out by that club, whats it called again, it's just a car club. I can't recall but I'll grab that book they put out and look up your car.
