Shelbyfest
Well done to the boys. Thanks Tenrocca and Modena for the pics and updates. I believe the full spec Porsche cup car on Friday with all the fruit and fresh slicks was doing 1.26's so a 1.27 is bloody quick. Mind you a street registered cobra doing the times above shows you how fast these guys are going..... Scary. Let's hope the great weather and event participation carries on to the Nationals this year too. Spookypt

Without wishing to open the irrelevant old debate, I often wonder why the Holden engined Cobras don't figure more prominently in these tables. Surely they are on average more powerful and lighter, equally modifiable ....
Is it the driver factor mainly, or just that fewer GM cars are racing at these events? |

Fewer LS Cars - ford cars been around longer and have had greater development - A few more "serious" racer folk among the ford cars. I think if you were to look at the results over the years, there would be a representation of gen3\4 cars that is proportional to the number that is out there. I think two gen3 cars have taken out the overall shelbyfest trophy out of the 8 years. Less than 25% of the cars entering are Gen 3/4. LS cobras have taken out King and queen cobra previously. I dont think there is a great disparity, but at the moment there are a few Ford guys that are in another league from all of us (Other Fords and Chev engined cobras) - and they are a lot of fun to watch!
