Hi,
A cobra is the wrong car to learn on, I would take a driving school lesson in a Miata before you try the cobra. Having said that there are a few things to make your cobra handle better.
- change front coilovers to a higher spring rate.Put the car on 4 corner scales with you it and set up spring/corner weights.
- set camber to neg 2 1/2* if you have that much adjustment.
- install a rear brake proportioning valve and take out 30% rear brake.
- the biggest improvement - a set of sticky road race tires on extra wheels.
- install a full 6 point roll bar, this will stiffen up the chassis 100% and save your A$$ if you go off the course and roll it.
Good Luck,
Perry.
