Excaliber,

Yes it goes to show the Cobra was awesome in its day, but if you want to get technical and talk about speed around race tracks, similar type cars from Lotus and Ginetta UK with small engines (1.5) regularly beat Gt40's etc on certain tracks, in the late sixties and seventies.

Then as Cobras vary so much in chassis design, mine being a simple ladder platform as per original, its quite limited in torsional rigidity, whereas a car built by I imagine JBL etc will handle very well, being a stiff design.
