Can a Cobra hang with Z06, GTR, GT3 on Track?

[MCA]

Thanks for all the responses. Pretty much confirms what I suspected. I'm really looking for something a little "less" exciting than the 125cc shifter. That was 15 years ago. The best description I've heard of those karts is "violent". Never did run it at a full sized road course, but what a busy handful on a kart track. Very physical. Driving the Skip Barber Formula car I felt like I could nap between corners.

scottj: I assume you were 2-3 seconds [i]behind[i]the Z06?

The only Cobra I've driven was a 2002 SPF with an original sideoiler and Billboards. I understand the tractor handling analogy now. I was very disappointed, although the look and sound was perfect. I'm hoping the BMW suspension in the BDR will feel better

No, I was quicker than the C6 Z06. The Noble M400 is another track car that runs right with the Z06... at least at Blackhawk.

When I was shopping for a Cobra the highest priority was that the car drove and felt like a modern sports car. The E-M had the Vette suspension option at the time so that is what I bought.

I have driven a BDR and a SPF and I don't think there is much difference in the handling dept. Look at Dennis Olthoff's SPF options if you want to set your car up for the track. He is a nice guy and a racer so he will speak your language.

Or you can buy an KMP with Penske suspension.........
