All things considered given Tommy's previous comment about both guys being the drivers, IMHO maybe there needs to be two more categories added to the poll being:
a) Cobra wins by default: Tommy gets cold feet and buys out.
b) Ferrari wins by default: Blitz gets cold feet and buys out.
While this may not be what we all want to see, its a realistic conclusion, given the closer we get to the event there's gonna be a lot of soul searching going on by at least one of the players.
EDIT: Unless of course blind ambition, lust for the rush of winning and bragging rights take over and logic gets tossed.
Just sayin'................

This might be more interesting if it were a track race and a drag race

I just find it hilarious that a guy that can afford a 458 wastes his time on this web site.

I don't get that at all. So you're only here because you can't afford a Ferrari?

That depends a lot more, on how the car is set up, and the driver's skills.
Now of course, this isn't a cobra, but it is a skilled driver, with only 220RWHP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSFxXId6xYg
A ferrari, is going to end up the same as the vette's, viper's, lambo's, BMW's etc, if the car is not set up right, and the driver is not skilled.
Likewise, in watching this old 427 powered ford battleship, being hammered around Nordschleife (and winning)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD48OX1wu14
makes my point that, no matter how well engineered and dummy proof a car is made, it doesn't make up for driver skill, or track prep.
Anyway I'm quite sure Jackie Stewart is ready to trade the ford cosworth in his garage, for that 3" diameter gold pendant and chain. 
Have fun!

I voted for #2 but I think #5 is more realistic.
EDIT: now that I look more closely at the vote, #4 looks really appealing also. I shoulda taken my time voting.

Thanks max. Yes and yes. Some threads tend to inspire my creative juices. We've seen many challenges over the years - manufacturers, members etc., but this one looks like it might actually happen. Kudos to Tommy and blitz if they pull it off!

The Ferrari is unbeatable. Drag race or road course. I know. I'm a traitor. 
Tom can play with the A/C, sip a latte, locate his favorite radio station and text his friend in the other lane and still beat his buddy three times.

Tommy, for the record. I'm quoting myself from a few pages back. I got your back. Good analysis.

Maybe Blitzforce can borrow my car (for a small fee), if nobody tells Tommy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQtmrxaRVTg

Tropical Buzz IS the master.
It's not often we see a Ferrari owner come out to play,,, this is one such thread!
Well done Tommy, you are worthy of Buzz's handiwork.
