Not Ranked
Mr. Bandit,
The One Lap of America was a gruelling week-long rally event with 15 on-track speed tests against 88 highly-tuned sports cars of all makes (Including the highly-touted Skyline GTRs and Vipers). It included drag race events, too. Their 3rd place overall result is a racing feat of historical significance for our replica Cobras.
I've run a number of rallies which were more than 12 hours long and I can attest to the physical demands of driving a Cobra for that long. These guys did it with very little time for sleep for a WEEK!
In the 20 years of the modern "OneLap", no other Cobra team has finished anywhere near the top of the Vintage Class much less overall.
I stand by my statement that the 382 is the best possible Ford engine you can put in a Cobra for all-round use.
Paul
