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.

Emmanuel,
Don't count Cobras out. When we did our Car and Driver test years ago, they tested an original car on the skid pad a 1.18 g's. That is pretty serious grip. Certainly, modern car handling is extremely good OVERALL--transitions, balance, etc. But, the
oil doesn't care about all that regarding
oil starvation.
Oil only cares about highest g's pulled (and sustained, like a long sweeper) and a properly set up Cobra and throw you out of the car.
