I don't care what he has in that Cobra, he will not achieve 200 MPH and he will not have a higher top end than your ZR-1. Those cars have the aerodynamics of a brick. Shelby even had to have Pete Brock design the Daytona Coupe to get the top end he was looking at to compete with Ferrari back in the mid 60s.

You may be right. I've taken mine up to 150mph with the top off and that was painful. The drivers side seatbelt was slapping all over the place and the wind just beats the crap out of you. 179mph with the top on wasn't near as violent. And Cobras have no top. Yes I know they make one but it looks goofy as hell.

I agree with that!
