Good Question,

If there is a complaint about the SPF it is the turning radius, seems like a 90" wheel base car should be able to turn in a tight circle for a U-turn (legal in CA) but you really need to plan where you decide to do the Ueey. Sitting at a traffic light into two lanes of road on the other side means you need to be as far right in the lane you are in or you will not have the room to make the U-turn without backing up (Total Embarrassmnet).

Conversely the Unique has a much tighter turning radius and a more responsive feel to the wheel in slow traffic....at speed on the road or track they feel the same.

I agree with Argo if you want to bring the rear end around really fast the whiskey runner turn is the fastest....never did it in a Cobra but, my Dad ran moonshine from W VA to Pa and he taught me how to do it when he was giving me my drving lessons at 15, first time in an icey parking lot then later on dry road in his 62 Pontiac Chieftian with a 389....I had a great DAD !!!!!!!!!!!!
