Several people have mentioned that the Cobra was modified. This was part of SEMA and of course the Cobra was modified as only modified cars were allowed to compete. The reason it did not do better in the show competition is because the car's appearance has not really been changed. Every car in that competition was very heavily modified, engines, drive trains, suspensions, exterior and interior designs, etc.

I thought that the Can-Am Boss 302 would do better than it did.

I did notice the benefit of ABS: Those with them finished going in a straight line. The Cobra and several others fishtailed, and the Cobra did so quite a bit. Still stopped pretty fast though!
