What a awesome day , we took the cob out for its first drive today and I think I have found [the best handling cobra] with camber compensation and anti roll front and rear the car is like a big go-kart and the steering stability on rough and potholed country lanes is unbelievable and the ride is very comfortable and the chassis feels so stiff and rock solid it just inspires confidence, after working for Dax for 30 years and having driven most cobra replicas I have never driven anything that even comes near to it,
well done Mr Walker for such a fantastic bit of design work.

excellent! I must say those high backs are not nearly as bad as most I've seen- where did you get those?

Not all AC Cobra replicas are created equal
Not all AC Cobra replicas are created equal. Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe pitches a 550bhp XCS Fusion against a Jaguar XKR-S to find out just how potent they can be.
