Bill, I have only driven the Cobra tribute that I built using LS6 engine, T56 transmission, and C5 Corvette suspension. I built the frame and it is very stiff in torsion.
The Beck Lister used C4 Corvette suspension which was narrowed. I found that the front suspension pick up points were wrong and the 5 link rear suffered from too high of a roll center. The Beck was advertised as being under 2000lbs. But, even built with padding only as seats and an aluminum head chevy 355 it weighed over 2300lbs.
In every category my C5 Cobra tribute is a better handling and driving car.
My Cobra doesn't have the brute nature of an original/replica with a 427 engine. But, it is very quick, has great brakes, suspension, steering, and can be driven and serviced as any Corvette would be.
