JBL is top notch. They have correctly engineered their car from day one, not just cobbled together a bunch of production car parts and then tried to sort it out. The ONLY drawbacks are: price (get what you paid for) and the body shape is not as original as some folks prefer. I have driven one of the first JBL's, hands down best handling car I have ever driven. Don't be confused between number of units they have sold and the quality of their product. Richard Hudgins has forgotten more about chassis design than most of us will ever learn. If you don't mind the body shape, and you can afford the price of the high-end cobras, you will have one hell of a sports car. Richard, where's the roll center on the JBL, 1/4" off the ground?
