It's been a while and I don't have any time sheets to go back to with the Viper. 220's should be reasonable. The Porsche is going slower than the Cobra for sure at top speed because mid 230s to 240 would be what I expect. The Cobra just gets up to speed way fast. The corner exit speed and mid corner speed in the Cobra is way below the Porsche but it doesn't take long to make up the difference with same or less weight and 2x's the HP! I go back to the fact that a full cage and all the safetey gear is needed in a car as fast as the Cobra. It just gets scairy moving that fast in a car that had no wind tunnel aero considerations, and even less impact testing when being designed.
