D111, the key is:
Under 4 seconds to 60 mph with IRS.
Any car that can do that is at risk of drive train component failure on the launch. There are very few cars that can reach that exotic realm. Some Cobra's are a worthy contender for such a lofty goal.

Kumbaya anyone?

Here's your competition:
Corvette ZO6
Dodge Viper
Cadillac CTS-V
Nissan GT-R, four wheel drive. $20,000 when you blow the trans on the launch, which HAS happened.
Two Lotus cars.
And of course a smattering of true exotics, Bugatti, Ferrari, etc.
Lamborghini's are known for destroying the clutch with two or three hard launches.
