YES, if your talking about the average "street" Cobra!!!!!!! An FFR Spec Racer is a whole nother game......
A pretty much stock Miata with maybe good brakes/tires/driver on a short tight road course where all out HP is not the game, will lap a street Cobra at least once in a 10 lap run!!!!!!
On road course that have longer straights and more open turns, a Cobra's HP will fair better, but the Miata will still post better lap times....
At the Grand Bayou Circuit where I race, the Spec Miatas turn laps in the 1:25 to 1:27 range, the exact same lap times us Vintage V-8 guys turn and we're driving 2800 to 3000 pound cars with 450 to 525 hp!!!!!!!!!!!!!
