A possibly more painful comparison for a Cobra today is the Lotus Elise.
It is street legal and right at the $50K pricepoint that many Cobra replicas cost to build, and many Cobras are more than that. FGT's and Vette's (ZO's and ZR's) are much more money than that.
Available with either 189 or 218 HP, it's great equalizer is the fact that it's a minimum of 400 pounds lighter than most Cobras, and can put all of it's power down.
So, can an Elise clean our clocks? Can it run with FGT's and Vette's? Mosler's? Panoz'?
Anyone here own an Elise and can share comparative lap times?
