I'd like to hear a chassis guy's thoughts on how the aluminum block actually affects the C/G and handling of a Cobra. The engine sits much further back in a Cobra than a normal vehicle. IMO, you'd only be able to tell the difference if you were really giving it grief on a road course. And at that point, the entire engine build and car setup should be changed.

Another "con" of an aluminum block build that I failed to mention above, is that they are harder to get them sealed up. Since the blocks "move around" so much with heat expansion, it can cause issues with gasket sealing.
