But it should have happened. It was racing a Shelby Cobra replica. That cars weighs about 1800-2000 lbs and it had a 427CID engine, so being VERY conservative it was making 350hp probably more. It just killed the C32 but it should have right? It sounded so good.

I guess anything that weights 2000 lbs witha V8 (regardless of size) is going to be faster than a 3500 lbs car.

You drop an "apple" from the top of a building, you expect the law of gravity to take affect. Even a bad driver, can win a race if his or her car is far superior "It's not how you stand by your car, but how you race it"

Thumbs up C32 vs Cobra

Typical Cobra weighs in 25oolbs plus driver. Typical horsepower at Flywheel 400+
Typical 0-60 for the Cobras in low 4's. On a tight road course the C32 should eat the Cobra's
lunch. I have one of each. Love my C32, little demon
