These cars are not highly modified. They are Spec racers as built by the mfg within the rules of the class. They ARE highly developed, a small but significant difference.
The point is that there are no places for replica "Cobras" to race except for the FFR Spec deal, so of course the "fastest Cobra" based on race results will always fall to FFR Spec's . Events like Run & Gun and the now defunct No. East Replica Challenge try to break things down into classes based on preparation, but it's still time trials, not fender to fender racing.
So, does a highly developed FFR with a very basic chassis design and little motor have the stuff to beat a more exotic chassied, bigger motored car marginally developed?
