Take Porsche for example, every 911 had dry sump lubrification until the water cooled 996 in 1999 which was equipped with a wet sump for cost savings reasons. People who tracked their new Porsches started seing a lot of engine failures with these cars. The high end models such as Turbo, GT2 and GT3 still are equipped with dry sump for good reasons. But we are talking about modern cars here which will pull many more Gs on the track than any Cobra could. A well designed pan and pick-up system like Aviaid will be more than sufficient for any Cobra, especially if it's a street car.
