The intended use of your car color your choices in terms of suspension and final ride quality. Our cars are based on the Corvette chassis and can like all cars be set up as soft and cushy (sp?) as you want. The belief (" a Cobra is rough, noisy, smelly, dangerous, cramped and hot.") is only because of the set up.
Most folks choose spring rates, shock valving with sway bar diameters that would be happy in a off chamber sweeping turn for an exit speed of a zillion and 3 MPH. In truth many first time car owners or cars less than a couple years old never see a track.
You all know any car can be set up to rival your favorite recliner in terms of soft too even a sloppy ride. It is the anti Cobra image of what history has created. With a full under car exhaust (add dummy side pipes to keep the look) and you would have to check the tach. to confirm she was running. We use seats with adjustable lumbar and tilt already so and the bigger cockpit with an auto tranny so even the 3rd peddle goes away. Add air conditioning, remote start feature, door poppers with a tilt steering column you have the Anti-Cobra or a rolling sofa.
