We don't have an OSP class in the Philly region. But we have something called SM2 (street modified), which is essentially the same thing. Street tired, run what ya brung.

Want to hear something odd? In the Phila region, all Cobras are classified as A STOCK . Now what is "stock" about a replica Cobra? Nobody complains or really cares though. Last year we didn't have too many cars running in AS, and the guy who eventually won the class was running a '95 'Vette with Hoosier tires, and I have street tires. And actually I would have won the class had I showed up at the last event.

The Cobra is a decent autox'er, but not fantastic. It will swap ends quickly in certain circumstances and can be a handful. Unlike other Cobra owners, my car actually has more of a push problem than oversteer. My car wants to slide the front end in the sweeping 180 turns. The Cobra is good, but don't expect to be among the fastest at the end of the day. My '85 MR2, with all of 112 hp, is a faster autox'er due to its' reflexes and balance.

As has been said, often the fastest cars are clapped out old cars. We have a guy in a an early '80's Scirocco, with about 30 lbs of bondo on it that will outrun about anything out there.
