The "Engine Problem" link above is basic bull crap. The car stalls under hard cornering and braking, yeah, what else is new, almost all Cobras do. You either learn to deal with it or you don't; stick in the clutch, gas it just right, anticipate the stall while cornering or fix it.

If you really knew Cobra history you would also know SHELBY had the SAME problem in the 60's! So what did HE do about it? Ran a center pivot float single four barrel, because anything else (fuel bowl extensions, jetting, etc. etc.) is treating the symptoms not the cause!

My dual four barrel intake won't allow for center pivot floats, if I corner hard enough the car WILL tend to stall, just like the real ones do and did! And a $130K aint gonna make it go away if YOU spec the wrong carb for 'road racing' and expect 'road racing' AND 'pleasant road cruising' response. For that, better get a 'no brainer' Vette.
