Maybe my car has spoiled me then? SS with Koni DAs, Stranos, adj torque arm, etc, but like I said, its all in the IRS of those cars. I HATE the IRS. Like I said, they do RIDE good, but they don't HANDLE good IMO. As far as feeling safer in the Mustang, she totaled that car at 130 and it felt like we just went over a speed bump instead of hopping a curb backwards, and we all walked away surprisingly. But to be honest Lemons, until you've DRIVEN a Cobra a few times, you might not wanna call people idiots. And as far as far superior, I don't really agree with that as well. Yea, sure, there supercharged, and yada yada, but when it comes to stuff like the interior, I can't stand them.

Mechanically, yes, if its designed and setup right it will, but the Cobra isn't setup very well, at least in my opinion. I'm sure you can make them handle amazing with most likely very few suspension mods, just like our F-bodies, but stock (all I've driven) I don't like them.

Thank you...Finally someone who isn't completely ignorant. The COBRA IRS is **** stock. With some mods, I don't know. IRS SHOULD normally outperform a SRA, but apparently in this case it DOESN'T. Thats why most go to the SRA.

Have you ever had one come around on you in the rain? Or even in dry street conditions?
They handle great, I never said that they didn't, but they are unpredictable at times, WAY worse than any stick axel or IRS car that I've driven. Shops that I've been to (griggs racing, PSR) have told me that they are downright unpredictable. Mind you this could be a way that they make money (solid axel swaps)
It's funny how YOU assume that I've never driven one/raced in one either.

There you go assuming again.. I assumed that you had judging from your posts, why would I assume otherwise?

I don't know about Lemons, but I've had one come around on me. Rain AND dry. I wasn't even doing anything stupid, just driving normal, and it just came around. I don't really mind that, but its unpredictable and isn't very controllable. I've driven all kinds of cars, Vettes, GTOs, F-Bodies, Syclone, yada yada, and out of all of them, it handled by far the worst and was also VERY sketchy in high speed turns. Straight line it would wander, but thats not that bad, but thats about it. Hell, the Syclone would run circles around that damn Cobra and its a damn truck...The GTO has similar problems, but, but not nearly as bad as the Cobra. The GTO just had major traction problems and wheel hop cause of the IRS, but the Cobra was just down right scary in anything other than a straight line.
Crazy ****.
