Bob,
I've got to give all of you at ERA credit for the great job you've done and are doing with the cars. I haven't driven the car at 100% yet, but close. The car seems very neutral with no surprising transients except for that good old throttle-induced oversteer provided by the 427. Mid Ohio would be a good track for going all out, but maybe I'll get it up to VIR, which should also be good. Need some good runoff areas just in case.
One of the best compliments the car has ever gotten was from an original Cobra owner, a 428 street version. I drove his to check out a chassis problem, which seemed to be something loose in the rear suspension. The car felt unsettled at about 60 mph and higher speeds. To return the favor I let him drive my ERA. His response was, "That's the best Cobra I've ever driven." He's owned more than one original, one being a small block which he currently owns and drives frequently.
