Are Cobras attracted by people with Audies?

The majority of the Cobra replicas I've seen at the track run in the mid 12's and certainly can't do 196 mph. Cheers.

I'm also kinda doubting that most R8 drivers could achieve these results likely from a magazine and driver of some unknown origin. I've seen a few R8's running around my neighborhood and the drivers don't usually look like the Michael Andretti types.

RodKnock, as I'm sure you know, original Cobras ran in the 12's to the 13's per all published accounts that I've read. Heck, Powerblock TV ran an original 427 (non-competition) against a Coyote powered FFR Cobra. The original went 14 seconds and the supposed 500 hp FFR went 12.8 in the 1/4.

No doubt most R8 drivers can't drive their cars to their full potential, but the same applies to us as well. Our cars will bite us the second we take them for granted. Cheers.

There is always going to be a faster car out there, no matter what you drive, but none of them feel like a Cobra, that's the thrill of our cars, all the new cars kinda feel the same...
