Bernie,you got balls that clank! 100mph in an ill handling car 
I think at those speeds we are talking professional suspension tuning and alignment settings. There are so many other variables involved at those speeds. Aerodynamics will be a big factor, & I don't think a street setup will ever feel comfortable in these type of cars at those speeds- thats where the 'drivers' are separated from the 'DRIVERS'. I am one of those drivers(small letters) I learned I don't have what it takes to drive MY cobra beyond the lethal side of 100mph unless it's on a flat STRAIGHT surface and then for only a short distance(1/4mile) I'm in awe when watching archived footage of the way the drivers threw those Cobras in & out of turns at speed! If you study the footage you realize the Cobras didnt really have much grip, the drivers sort of threw the cars into a turn and just maintained a controlled out-of-control skid.
Mine don't clank, they sorta just slide up along side my adams apple when I try to do that.
