Beg to differ Malcolm! Most people think the Tiger is a nose heavy pig,
but the engine was set back far enough to achieve a 55%/45% front/rear
weight ratio. The Tiger is heavy turning at parking lot speeds, but at
road speeds (and trust me, way beyond anything legal speed!) it is a
really nice handling ride, especially when fitted with modern tires. As
for late Tiger pilot, many a driver has put the pedal down in a car that
was beyond their ability and good judgment.
I can't comment on the Cobra, having never driven one. But, if the
opportunity presented itself, I'll gladly report back on the experience!
