Not Ranked
One of the more experienced Cobra drivers around here and a winner of more than a few Time trial events at road courses in his BB Cobra, has recently exchanged his car for a Zo6 Corvette. He told me just a week ago that the Vette was just so much easier to drive and handled much better than the Cobra with more predictability.
I know from my own personal experience that a 600 hp Cobra is no piece of cake to drive. I can leave almost everthing in the straights but in the corners it is constant steering and throttle input to keep the car from looping, something that happens quite often.
The fact that Richard Hudgins has streched the wheelbase in the JBL Cobra to improve handling just goes to show that 90" wheelbase cars are difficult to control.
Those that can drive these cars faster than the rest of us should be appalauded for their driving expertise.
