Dinobyte,
If your going to be around in London, I would be happy to give you a ride in our demo car to show you how it handles. I will tell you that it handles great and that we really do have excellent suspension parts in our standard kit, but, the real proof is in the ride. I strongly suggest that if you are interested in a Hurricane, you hook up with another Hurricane owner near you or at a show and see if they will take you for a ride. Also, be sure to evaluate according to your driving needs:
Cruizer only - These are softer on bumps, less road feel, "cushy" ride. Disc and drum brakes are common, as is an OEM, passenger car style suspension.
Performance Driver - Cruising and some performance driving like autocrosses and occasional road racing. These are a stiffer ride with more road feel, but still a comfortable ride. Large diameter 4 wheel disc brakes with an advanced, heavy duty suspension.
Racer - Full time racing. Performance is what is needed for these types of cars with little regard for comfort. A very stiff ride with a high level of road feel. The 4 wheel disc Brakes are very large with multi-piston calipers. Suspension is made up of fully adjustable, race proven components. Steering us usually quicker than on a cruizer. Full cage or enhanced roll bars are common. Special racing seats are required.
Most Cobra Replicas (from the factory) fall into the top two categories. I would say that our kit is a definite Performance Driver kit. To turn our kit into a racer, besides your custom roll cage and racing seats, you would want the IRS upgrade, a little bit stiffer springs, front anti-sway bar, and the Wilwood disc brake upgrades. You may also want a quicker ratio steering rack. The rest of our standard suspension components are up to the task. Our standard suspension is fully adjustable for trackside "tweaks" and almost every connection to the frame is via a heim joint.
I hope we get a chance to meet in London. If not, hopefully you will get a chance to ride in a Hurricane at another event or from one of our customers.
