Excal...
In MY opinion, on the street it makes little or no noticeable difference.
On the track it's a different thing - NOT a Drag Strip! Keep the 8.8's.

Proof is at the track. Professional testing showed my DV Cobra, esesentially set up just like any other big block Cobra with a 9" pulled a .78 G with Cooper Cobra street tires. With our engineered Double Wishbone set up, same track, (TRC-Honda's test track), same driver and tires, we pulled a plus 1.2 G's. The facts are in.

On a course I can tell the difference from the single and double wishbone, but mostly only from the clock. To ME the double wishbone is a major safety issue. So there you have my 2-cents worth.

This is obviously cutting my own throat, "we" Classics by Elite, have been designing and building what the customer wants and needs for over 30 years. BUT, does a CR's NEED an independant? Does any Cobra NEED an independant? I don't think so, but I want a LOT of things I don't NEED!

Mr. Bruce...fella it's time we talked again. For more reason than one
