930Turbo, I don't think you get it...We didn't build/buy these cars for comfort, or necessarily to beat a bmw around a track (although there are many here that could leave it in their dust). There's pride in building and owning such a beast. I don't have to do anything on a track for someone to know that I/we could blow the doors off the m5 from standing stop (ask someone if they care how fast yours stops). In addition, where I work, there's plenty of fast cars around (ferraris, porches, vipers, etc), but nothing gets more attention than the cobra (love parking next to high dollar cars). Whether peoples perception is right or wrong, the Cobra is almost always more powerful, faster, cooler, than anything on the road. When I had fast cars in the past, people wanted to race all the time, but with the Cobra, just a thumbs up. Your M5 or Porsche just gets treated as every other high dollar luxury car is treated.....ignored.

By the way, if I wanted to win a race, it wouldn't be an m5 or a porsche 930 by the way, so maybe you need to go earn a few more dollars so you can afford something that we might be impressed by.
