Of course Morris could not be more accurate - a Cobra by nature, with its short wheelbase, light rear and archaic suspension is a poor handling car. I honestly have never seen one that is remotely quick around a track - Morris's car would obviously be an outliier...
A REAL competent race shop can do wonders with a car - suspension have to be calibrated and designed around the entire package - it is truly an art. Not being able to get away from the old suspension would make it difficult for many to ever be quick - not matter who is fine-tuning them.
Back in the day - 15+ years ago when I was running around in these things - the JBL had the most promising chassis.

The suspension, steering, and lack of chassis stiffness is not good enough to be predictable on these cars.....
And you don't have enough knowledge to build a National Competitive vehicle....so you might want to get a vehicle that has all those thing worked out and you just push a button to save you when the car goes out of control.....
At the present time the times we've run at various tracks are faster then the GT-2 times and mid pack on GT-1 times.....and that's on fast tracks like Road America .....and slow tracks like Gateway StL....
Sorry to be so honest.....but better to be honest and alive then foolish and dead...
