Mine has 640hp but since it is essentially a race engine it doesn't come on until 4k RPM. I have Avon 15" tires and it's not squirrely at all, with some respect. Those tires really stick, but they are pricey. Not sure 17" or 18" make a ton of difference in that respect. The 15" ride nicely, btw.

I've had lots of cars, including a Porsche, and they are just different from a Cobra. It is not a daily driver. It is a 60's race car for the street that requires attention to drive and maintain. I also would say that you need some mechanical skills to own one of these, they aren't just plug and play.
