Any Cobra owners want to give me a ride? (SoCal-Huntington Beach)

Congratulations on the purchase! Sounds like this thread worked out all the way around!

i often wonder what other people's car drives like...i have an era and wonder how it compares to kirkham, superformance, etc.

Having an early Superformance "learner" 427 Cobra (#369), and having driven and ridden in ERA 427s, I can tell you there is no comparison--the ERA rides, handles, and drives like a modern sports car. The Superformance is fun, but it rides rougher and has a little bump steer. The ERAs (in my limited experience) are in a whole other league.

Thats what I noticed between Davids two cars. Pretty obvious right off the bat how well it was setup. Basically the ERA drove like my Lotus (on not super windy roads anyway I'll give it that)

I learnt a lot building my Lotus 7 and then going though all the changes to get it to handle right. I will go through this with the Shell Valley and see what I can make it do. Should be fun.

Id like an ERA but thats not going to happen.

It was a good weekend for not-a-number! I'm so excited that he was able to make his Cobra dream a reality. I'm also really looking forward to seeing how he takes this car to the next level.

I think I can give you a spin of my fresh brand new back draft racing cobra.
