As you can see from this chart the Cobra is still in pretty good company. Amazing when you consider how long ago the Cobra did it and how "old" the car's technology (chassis etc.) was even by 1960s' standards.
By the way the magazine in question is "Autocar," the world's oldest automotive periodical (more than 100 yrs in print). I used to get it weekly at my old work and REALLY miss it now that I've changed jobs. Great editorial, and terrific photos and graphics. Terribly expensive to subscribe to it here in Canada tho'...
