The CR is a 94" wheelbase car. Not quite as touchy as the 90"ers. 600 hp, manual steering, and manual brakes is a handful. 375 - 400 hp, power steering, power brakes, 17" tires, and a 14" steering wheel is more toward the fun-to-drive side, than the handful side. (That's why original 427 Cobras did so poorly in sales, but the 289's were a ball to drive)

I will admit though, that the car is so responsive, it takes awhile behind the wheel learning to drive it.
