Yes--the '84 Z51 Corvette handles better than any vette ever made to date. Drop in your choice of quality, reliable Ford muscle, and wal-la (presto!) -- you've got an anti-Cobra-Cobra that can out run AND out handle ANYTHING on the road. The curb weight of the '84 is 3192 lbs--with a Cobra body it might just wipe any asp with the Chevy power train still in it!

Can I say asp here?!

The anti-Cobra-Cobra --and kind to the pocket book as well!
I read the link earlier. While interesting, I didn't see any thing on topic in there. While I think you could end up with one fine handling car you may also be in for a let down. If not done right, you could take your C4 and end up with a car that does not handle near as well as the C4 did in the first place.
