44-Year-old Cobra Wins Street Car Challenge

I just watched the show. A mid-year Corvette won the styling award and the Cobra won the performance contests. Sounds about right to me.

Yep, exactly, although I still think the Cobra is better looking.

I watched it yesterday morning. It was well put together to give the maximum suspense. I doubt very many people knew the outcome in advance (most of them are here!) so the shock was "the ugly 44 year old car won?"

They did mention that the Cobra was 900HP, 800TQ or something like that but that the other cars were far from stock too.

It was a fair fight!

Congrats again.

That was one cool program. Loved how they kept predicting how great the Bentley was going to do with AWD and ABS and kick-butt on the 0-60-0, but got blown away by the Cobra.

And as far as losing on styling...well I guess they couldn't let him win every event. Plus they probably had to throw a bone to their sponsors. (Optima, etc...) And that Nissan with the K&N livery was one UGLY car.

I wouldn't mind having a couple of those Gen1 and Gen2 Camaros or that old Mustang Trans Am clone.

Other than their F1 and roadracing programming, one of the only worthwhile programs on that channel since becomming FOX's NASCAR station.

What's that car got for an engine? Bored and stroked FE, I presume?

Congrats on dominating the Challenge.
