I was just at a 2 day open track event (Los Angeles Shelby American Club) this past weekend. There were 6 Cobras, 5 were Superperformance, mine was the only big block (427 sideoiler) - just anecdotal. Only one was faster around the track, it was trailered in and on racing slicks. However, I did have the thrill of pulling the fast Cobra 10-15 cars on the straight. My car was tire (15 inch goodyear eagle 1's, 235/60f, 275/60r) and driver (me) challenged. On the flat (coned off skidpad) 180 turn onto the main straight the car in NASCAR terms pushed like a dumptruck, otherwise it was well behaved. Any speed it gained was made on gassing it between the turns, not cornering speed.
