67Jet,
The effects of aerodynamic drag get very pronounced at high speeds. So relatively small things like the specific shape of the nose, the location of the mirrors and the size and shape of the tires can have a big effect. For that reason, I'd guess that simulating the drag on your Cobra with an approximation of a generic MGB would be in the ball park, but not dead on.
