The GS would beat SB Cobra roadsters on shorter races, but needed more sorting for endurance events. They were much faster than the Cobras, but reliability was a factor.
Cobra Daytonas had a better shape, as well as being better developed.

How do you think the Grand Sports would have compared to the Comp 427 cars?
