Not Ranked
Argo1,
I have both an ERA 289 FIA Cobra and a 66' GT350R clone. I have open tracked both cars and there is no comparison. The short wheel base on the Cobra makes it a bit twitchy in the corners and with only some fiberglass and a single loop roll bar I do NOT feel comfortable pushing it. The Mustang on the other hand has a full roll cage, fire system, 17" Hoosiers, Baer brakes and a nasty 12.4:1 289 that loves to be a 6-7000RPM I feel safe and and can (so far) out run any Cobra in the Green group at Thunderhill. So if you are serious about racing or open tracking my 2 cents is a GT350R is the only way to go. Either that or a Daytona Coupe. Which is my current project. But I will be sad to see my GT350R go. It is such a sweet track car.
FIA Mike
