Not Ranked
Well, I’m reporting back after a season of open track in the 66 coup that I bought last Christmas. I woulda preferred a GT 350 clone but as Terry says, they are pricey. I went with a 66 coup with a 347 stroker , a Total Control suspension and rack and the car is a blast. You can do things that you’d never dream of doing in a Cobra. With the mustang you can focus on driving and passing without that constant sense that the car is ready to step out. The extra wheelbase in the Mustang permits the non-expert to drift it through the turns secure in the knowledge that it will behave in a predictable manner. I miss the romance of the Cobra and I have no doubt that 4 seasons in it helped make me a better driver but that said, the Mustang has made getting around the track at speed much, much easier!
Cheers, Pete C
