I see that the original ride height of 40's were 5 inches. I measured the Gulf car last week at Amelia Island Concours and that's about waht it is. A man here in Atlanta is building a Tornado GT$) and that is where he is seyying his ride height. My Cobra replica bottoms out somtimes and I measured it tonight at 9 inches. I have a skid pan and the engine IS much lower. My questions is: IS 5 INCHES TOO LOW FOR THE STREET? cb
