Cool that the Cobra is faster, but boy is that stupid on those crowded roads.

Of course not! Street racing is childish, irresponsible and very dangerous......
(that sounds just like my ex wife describing Cobras in general!)
So, what does a replacement clutch for a new GT3 cost?.......

As an aside, GT3's have launch control.
If properly used, that GT3 would be sitting at a coffee shop down the road waiting for the cobra to get traction.

The GT3 is not designed for drag racing. Given equally skilled drivers, the results on a road course would probably be very different. As for dragging Porsches, try a Turbo S with launch control; 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, consistently, and no clutch to wear out.

We heard all of the same quoted technical specifications, launch control and wheelspin issues in the Cobra vs. Ferrari 458 match up. On paper the Ferrari won hands down but on race day the Cobra still brutally kicked its tail 3 races out of 3.

Well, did that "on paper" calculation take into account that the cobra had 750HP and there was so much VHT on the track a golf cart could barely pull through it?
... just sayin' |

Assolutely. Butt - that scenario was summarily cancelled out by the postulation that if a Cobra that powerful could somehow be made to hook at launch, then something in the drivetrain would surely let go and it wouldn't make it past half track, let alone survive to win the required two races out of three.

Actually, two clutches to wear out. |
