    would have thought more people have died in evos and scoobys then 911's and cobra's but there meant to be some of the best handling cars about, 99% of car crashes do i dare say are from people driving beyond there ability's, be it in bad weather conditions or other wise

    the cobra also had basically a prewar ladder chassis, and tyres in the early 60's were awful compared to the modern stuff...

    there is a story about jim clark winning 4 f1 races with one set of tyres, the wear rates & grip were that bad, and most cars suffered high speed lift.
