TheSaint71 and others,

I rode in 4 different Cobra replicas before buying a Backdraft. All of the other replicas were not IRS, so I can't make that comparison. The Backdraft simply was more comfortable, especially on roads that are not perfectly smooth. It may also help that I am a BMW fan.

I was told my car with a 351 should weigh about 2400lbs.

As for the 2 extra inches. What guy wouldn't want that! Actually, I wasn't able to see the difference when my car was sitting next to an FFR. Some of the other cars with a 94" wheelbase definitely look different. I am not sure how to do a real comparison on handling unless everything else would be equal except the wheelbase.
