Default Considering a Superformance have lots of questions

I a considering a Superformance Cobra and I have questions. I have read deep into the forums so I have information but it is starting to all blur together.

So here we go. I do not do things for resale, I do it for me.

1. I don't want two roll bars but I feel like I have to have 2 roll bars. Short wheel base big tires, not impossible to roll. Can a second roll bar be retrofit? What are the pros and cons of 2.

2. What is the cutoff for the latest version of the car. I have read over chassis 2000 is it.

3. Again I know it is frowned upon but I think in the end I am going to want a modern tire. To me that means 17" rims. Does anything have to be done to the suspension to make 17" rims work? Alignment, spring rates.....

4. How do you set the front to back / left to right balance of the car? I understand you need scales but how is it done?

5. What is the weak spot of the car? Every car has once what is the Superformance?

6. Is the flow through cooling any good in the passenger compartment?

7. Can shoulder belts be easily retrofit into the car.

I think that is a good start. I don't really want to get into contests about things like 2 roll bars biggers rims, I would be happy to discuss it but I really need answers to questions at this point. I realize that is impossible but I thought I would throw it out there.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Bill
