Not Ranked
I appreciate all of the comments and am mostly interested in learning. The cobra is the first and only road race track car I have ever driven. I finally have driven the cobra enough on the track to kind of get a feel for what it is doing and want to improve it. But, my feedback is limited as I am not as experienced as Richard or John behind the wheel. I have enjoyed talking to Richard in the past but am lost on some of the concepts in his last post. Even if I could understand it, I don't know if I could apply it. But, by asking questions, I will keep learning and improving the handleing of the cobra along with the driver. I spoke with finishline motorsports a few days ago about the set up they are running. The shelby spec racer cobra's have the original suspension design as far as spring placement and angles other than a raised rear roll center(for some reason). My hi-tech is also the same as the originals. The spec racer runs a 600 to 650 pound front spring and a 400 to 450 pound rear spring with a sway bar front and back, spring rates depending on track. So, John, your front to rear total wheel rate of .6 to .7 is probably dead on with the spec racer. I just want to have a little more fun. Scott
