				Can a Cobra hang with Z06, GTR, GT3 on Track?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		Newbie here. Shopping for a street car to to run on 3 or 4 track days per year. (NASA, HPDE, etc.)...not wheel to wheel. Drive to track, no trailer. 
 
Will probably buy a BDR, if I go the Cobra route.  I'd like to know from those of you who have tracked your cars whether a "streetable" Cobra can hang with the likes of fast track day cars such as the GT-R, Z06, Exige, or 911 Turbo/GT3. If I buy a BDR, it will likely be equipped with a Roush 427R or SR TW...possibly the new Ford Motorsports 427. DOT 17" racing tires. Maybe limited slip differential. "Big Brake" and other track oriented mods only if necessary. I intend to run at Northeastern tracks such as Lime Rock and Monticello. 
 
I feel that the Cobras (and GT40s) look and sound far better than the above mentioned alternatives...with a trade off in terms of practicality.  I do realize that the Cobra will be far more challenging to drive on a track compared to the other cars, especially the GT-R. By way of experience, I've done some Skip Barber and raced a shifter kart years ago. Thanks in advance for your responses.
