They were 440 lbs. lighter and had 175 more HP than a Cobra. They had trouble meeting the 100 car minimum production to race with the Cobra so they were put in the same class as the Chaparral. They actually faired well against them winning 11 races but production was stopped after 2 years.

Still ugly though.
