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.
Have you ever drag raced a 1/4 mile?
It is a lot longer than you think and you might run out of balls before you cross the finishline and lift. Just saying.
