Real 1 has a great point, if this were to be a real thing, they should have each entry with the same crate SBF and crate BBF (each mfg to have 2 entries), that way you would be isolating the design of the cobra, otherwise, you would not be able to determine things like suspension/chassis design, anti-roll, wheel spin, wheel hop, aerodynamics, influence from weight, balance etc. If you really want to make it about apples to apples, you get the same driver to perform the test on every car, now how do you find somebody that has no conflict of interest, you'll have to check to see if Elliot Spitzer will be available to supervise the event. Again, keeping with the original post, it was to be a shootout between manufacturers, not engine builders, supertuners and engineers.
