Can I make sure that I understand the chart? It looks like there are around 12 cars on it that have done better than 11.5 as their best time. It seems like those are drivers who've practiced dragging, and their cars may well be set up to drag. Blitz, by contrast, is basically addled, has a car that isn't set up for it, and certainly has no drag experience in a car that mere mortals regard as impossible to handle.

In the other lane, the recorded 1/4 mile times for 458's are 10.8-10.2. I won't get it perfect but I basically don't have to do anything but flick a switch.

And yet fully 40% of the people responding to the poll believe that the Cobra will win without me even screwing up? I'm sure I'm missing something.
