I certainly wasn't going to throw my car in against the proposed machinery.

The Ferrari makes 80 more hp and weighs 700 fewer lbs than the GTR.

I was just saying the Ferrari is idiot proof (driver barely required). If that Cobra makes 750 hp then there is a race on an actual drag strip if he can hook it up. The race is entirely about the Cobra driver.

That is what we love about these cars IMHO, driver absolutely required.
