Excellent. Obviously, it depends on your components and how you set it up, but they are really good.
Just came back from driving some foothill roads to get out of the fog here, and every time I drive this thing I'm impressed all over again. With the arruminum BB up front, it's basically 50/50 weight distribution. I'm running Penski racing shocks and Big Letter Eagles rains, so control and grip are damn near perfect. Tom Kirkham has estimated that with the Big Letters, 1g and more on their cars is expected, and I have no reason to doubt that. I ran a C4 Vette for a good number of years in open track, autocross and about 80K of open road miles, and I think the Cobra is more precise and forgiveable at the limit...IF you respect it! Do something stupid with the increased power/lower weight, and you will have totally screwed the equation. "Roll on" the gas and the brakes.
Different makes handle differently. My Butler (now Fred's) was wonderful...more engine setback which made it truly mid-engined. I personally think it would outhandle the Kirkham if it were set up the same (shocks and tires). FFRs benefit from all manner of upgrades available to Mustang go-fast suspension pieces.
I'm sure others will chime in with their experiences. Welcome to CC.
