Check to see how it feels at that speed; can you feel any shakes in the steering column, seat of your pants, etc. Fixing "at speed" problems can be tricky to diagnose and expensive to fix...
thanks for the tip ... i'm a little used to wrench ...so , correct me if i'm wrong, if there are problems...they can be solved ..... i mean, if all suspension components , alignment,tires,and steering devices are in good shape in a not previous "wrecked" car... it must perform as they ever had it in mind building it new , no ?
I hope ( do not know ) that those Contemporary Cobras do perform ( in as new condition) as they should do ......... As we say here, buying a second hand is in most cases buying somebody elses problem... if you can solve it... that's just great !
PS Hobbying my cars is mostly more working on them then driving... but , hey, that's me
