Good points Tony! I have to think of the Grandpappy of the Cobra, the tiny Bristol powered AC Ace, with a whopping 125 Hp at the crank! Not only did one win it's class at Le Mann's, they also won their class's in SCCA racing five times in a row! Starting in class E, then bumped up to class D and finally class C, where they had to play with the big boys. Plus, the small block racing Cobra's, which made the legend, were only putting out 385 hp at the crank, with out even an alternator. Were those guys not men? Cheers, Dennis

When you consider also they were racing on bias ply tires at close to 200mph then, yeah...
