I'm just a novice, but intuitively (not that this is always correct), I would think than in a car like a cobra, front engine, high power car, with independant rear suspension, you wouold want some degree of squat, to get more weight on the rear tires, for better traction for acceleration, as only the rear tires are accelerating the car. For braking, I would think you would want some anti-dive, as as both the front and rear tires apply braking force, and you wouldn't want too much force(weight) being transferred to the front.

Alot of the old drag cars would set their cars up with the rears lowered and the front jacked up to get better (maximum) weight transfer for better traction, for acceleration.

What is wrong with the suspension geometry of the cobra's original design for it's intended purpose? I heard that the trailing arm really needed to be longer, such that it was located in the driver's body, but I guess that is not possible.
