And All Wheel Drive is impossible to beat. Keep in mind that this measurement of going fast in a short straight line is almost uniquely an American measure of fast, and a reason our Cobras were truly track fast for only an extremely brief period of time long, long ago.
There is a reason SCCA banned AWD and ABS from all but the World Challange class back in the 80's. Currently they have relaxed their ban on ABS some and there is talk that the AWD ban might be revisited now that cars so equiped are getting older (cheaper). Audi ate up TransAm in the mid 80's against cars with horsepower ratings much, much higher and SCCA didn't need a crystal ball to know that the new tech would make every other unequiped car obsolete and drive the cost of racing even higher, as drivers had to ditch their American and European muscle for new cars just to stay competetive.
The Cobra was developed for the track, and the fact it went fast on the strip was probably more responsible for it's romance in the eyes of Americans. But it's still a track car in essence and despite the rush of traffic light to traffic light woo hoo, would rate far, far down the list of the truly fast track cars of today. It's best to keep one's perspective.
