Default Chassis & Crashes

You guys kill me. I bet few of you actually race these cars and those that dream of it will not be able to vintage race any of these cars due to the fact they are not vintage cars. M ost just go for a quick blast down a parkway hoping to not get grabbed for an insurance guzzling ticket.

Chassis??? Please if you are looking for a modern handeling safe chassis, why buy a Cobra? Buy a new Nizzan Z or something.

Crashes? It seems that there are a lot of crashes out there in the kit car world and guess what? Most of them are other than Shelby. Go over to the Dan's Superformance Dealer on Long Island and look around. I am sure you will see a few wrecked cars and ask them abouit the previously wrecked cars.

What about fuel cells????
Not even your modern every day cars have fuel cells.

What about urethane or rubber bushed suspensions?
Hey that little bit of flex would bother me on the track. Would any of you know the difference on the street? I doubt it..

Did you ever go for a ride in an original Cobra with Bondurant, Gurney or Smith behind the wheel? I think the original suspension would surprise you. It was stiff enough and guess what. Today Shelbys are made even stiffer than the original.

So what's the point?
