Don't let anyone fool you... a Cobra IS a race car. It may not compare to some of today's technology, but the Cobra was built to be a race car, and original spec chassis type Cobras still handle better than many modern cars, when setup properly.

The biggest thing to remember, is that there are plenty of Cobra brands out there that aren't built around chassis performance, so you can very well have a car that doesn't handle all that good. And as mentioned, proper suspension setup plays a big part as well.

So you're not going GT class racing against full boogie modern Porches or Corvettes, but a properly setup Cobra can still hold it's own in the realm of performance.
