Default Not an easy question to answer

deck officer Bill are you looking for the stock kit when you buy it or someone that has done a ton of work to make it handle better.
Question do you have a limit on money spent for improvements?
If you are looking for a couple of the best handling cars in cobras,
Cobra#3170 and Morris. both here on the forum. One has alot or ground effects the other runs with a stock look. Both winners of events.
JBL has a canterlever front end on the cobras. A guess they are setup after F1 race cars. Have only seen a couple on the track and they where fast. ( this also depends on susension setup and drivers ability and knowing the track.
Backdraft Tony Martin builds a light custom car and at the last 3 R&G has driving the wheels off his car coming in #1 or #2 in class.
Can make the same call for FFR cars and Superperformance cars.
There are a couple of other cars that have also been super fast.
First would be a Lister 1,800 lbs of speed and a long wheel base for handling
GS corvettes are another light weight car with great handling. Couple of years back the GS cars and Super Sevens where the fastest on the track.
Bottom line you are looking for a light car for track racing. You need to find a company that does alot of R&D on suspension, wheels and tires to build the best handling car. Alot of track time is needed, recording tire temps, what the motor is doing, drysump motor. alot of maintainance. Driver school a couple of times will get you started in the right direction. The rest is being smart and COMMON SENSE on the track. It's hard to find the limits of your car and drive at them all the time without spinning out and hoping to not hit any thing. This is 1 reason Run&Gun was moved to MPH track. Large open area and very little barriers to hit. The worst thing is cleaning out the tall grass for the ducts and vents, but it sure beats hitting a wall. Been there, done that. After you get the car on the track gets some pictures and write feedback on how the car handled, what the weather was like, tire pressures and temps. This will give you a good base for improving the car and your driving. Rick L.
