Not Ranked
Bruce ... what you said about the original Cobra`s front suspension being out of the norm for modern passenger cars is so true . We like to think of our cars as being able to out handle with anything on the road , but I do HPD events , mostly at VIR , and I can tell you that most modern "grocery getter " cars are way above the sports cars of yesterday . Probably the equal of or better than most of our replicas as built . I remember going through the uphill esses at VIR at 100 mph + with a 2013 Ford Focus ST grafted to my rear bumper .... and that was a totally stock car other than aftermarket pads .
so , I spend tons of money , buy parts and reset the suspension , go to hi performance tires just to beat a Ford Focus ST ???? 
Will get rid of my ERA ??? Absolutely not ... it is far more fun to drive than the Focus , and I love it . |
