An Accura would kick a Cobra's Asp

[Buzz]

Mulv, I dont think its necessary or appropriate to use Lew's unfortunate incident to make a point on this topic. We all agree that Cobras are difficult to drive fast and unforgiving when they get away. Crashes occur in all forms of racing involving all types of cars.
Look at the other thread where Coyled and Gordon Levy are discussing turning competitive times with a Porsche GT2. I seriously doubt that a 135HP Accura can run with those boys. Nothing against Accuras and certainly nothing against you - this is just a discussion about cars - but I repeat my point: Y2K technology cannot make heavier, lower powered sedans faster than sorted 2300LB, 450+HP Cobras. It only makes them easier to drive. Yes, the average driver will go around some tracks faster in those cars but a driver who is skilled, experienced (and crazy?) enough in a well sorted Cobra should kick a lot of a$$.

EDIT:

I missed your other post with the points about mortality rates in the 60's and the penis thing. First of all I fully agree that todays technological advances have made racing much safer and that is as it should be. No question. I'm not sure what you were getting at with the reference to the ego and lack of imagination of the old drivers. As for the other statement; its unnatural for me to follow that sort of logic but if you have a problem with your weewee please accept my condolences if that makes you feel any better...
