The new Z06 is pretty much unbeatable. Lots of power, anti-lock brakes, traction control, etc. It is truly a race car with a license plate. The only mods you need to make to that car is a better harness and tires.

The big draw back to a cobra is the aerodynamics. It'sa pretty much a flying brick. Takes a lot of power to get over 140mph.

That being said, a good Cobra with a good driver can run with the big boys. When I go to the track, there's only two or three cars that are consistantly faster. They all cost a lot more than mine. And the drivers have a lot more experiance.

Unless you're willing to spend upwards of $500K, you'll always find someone who's a little faster than you.

But, here's the best part: 140mph in an open roadster is a hoot. When you skim that inside wall at 100mph, it makes your heart go pitter-pat. Don't worry about beating the corvettes and GT-R's, just go and have a good time.
