One of the first changes Shelby made to the "AC" was suspension mods. The "ACE" as delivered from England was not up to the task. It was an anitquated design even in 1962, but it was "good enough" with the mods to run against what else was out there at the time.

I believe the REAL success of the Cobra lies more along the lines of "power to weight" ratio far more than a Tojeiro inspired suspension!
