0-100-0 Road Tests including Cobras?

[decooney]

Club Cobra Members,

have any of you come across recent 0-100-0 road tests that included Cobras?

I was just looking for clarification on the 13.2/13.8 earlier records on the Cobras from another thread, and found a recent Autocar test. One gent brought a hopped up Cobra to the Autocar test. The final car listed called a Stealth B6 ran 2/10ths off the McLaren F1 LM's world record at 11.73 seconds. Autocar runs this challenge every year. Something new and exciting always shows up. It would be cool to see a wicked-fast aluminum equipped Cobra show up to this challenge sometime with some huge brakes/tires!

A few clips from the article at:

- "Cheng Lim brought his rumbling 637bhp RAM SC Cobra replica". (13.8) seconds".

- "And then the Stealth was unwrapped, looking worryingly quick before it had even turned a wheel. This car’s first ever outing was when owner Davidson crawled into its goldfish-bowl cockpit, fired up the crackling 6.3-litre Chevy V8 and erupted down the mile straight. Making the most incredible cacophony — a violent barrage of gear whine, induction hammer and V8 roar — the Stealth very nearly drove into the record books on its first run".

"A little later, once its brakes had been sorted, it eventually posted the following times: 0-30mph in 1.89sec, 0-60mph in 3.88sec, 0-100mph in 6.85sec and 0-100-0mph in (11.73sec). That’s faster than the halfmillion pound Porsche GT1 and only two tenths shy of the McLaren Fl LM’s all time world record. A pretty good result for a car you’ve never heard of, wouldn’t you agree?"
