"Any cobra"?
Using that logic, a production vette would outperform a tube framed vette without driver aids. Or is it that a race chassis knows that it is bodied with a vintage styled body and must therefore slow down? What if you were to take the famed miata and drop 500 pounds of fat with a tube chassis? Would it be faster? what if you took the miata body off and installed a lighter still cobra body? Would that suddenly slow it down?
