You need that when you take a very heavy car and make it heavier still with a full frame.
Just a dream, at this point, though. I'm happy that I can still get in and out of the Corvette, albeit not with the top up anymore!
The Cobra was the dream of an 8 yr. old back when I first saw one. Naturally I can't afford what I saw as a kid, so a replica was the only option. The replica has a solid 2X4 frame, rack and pinion steering and the aforementioned Jag rear with a fully adjustable front and rear suspension. Better than the original, and this 427 has 50+ more HP than the original big block did. Over 500 HP and over 500 ft. lbs. of torque in a one ton car with a 90 inch wheelbase can be fun, but must be respected.
The '70 Mustang BOSS 429 is my favorite Mustang, but again, there's no way I could afford one, so it comes down to the '70 428 MACH I, but it has to be a solid car if I make the decision to get rid of the Cobra.
Yes, it's a good thing the Cobra doesn't have a top, that would make it pretty difficult to get in without burning my leg on the hot sidepipes. Coordination isn't quite what it once was.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
