i think the Cobra would have a good shot on a touge/tarmac rally. if you've never seen one up close it is a small car. it is, after all, just a design evolution of the british AC Ace roadster. imagine sticking a 427 into a Miata, almost. the car would retain its lightness and quick steering potential (more or less) yet would have more power than it could possibly use. i understand it seems impossible that something from America could ever compete in such an event, but the Shelby Cobra is a special car. if they ever make an episode of ID with a Cobra vs a Quattro S1 rally car i'd buy it despite my aversion to the anime/japanese animation genre.
I have mentioned the Tarmac rally races with the porsches and exc.. a couple times to this guy and he seems to dodge them every time so I gave up on that argument . Anyway I completely agree with Big Morgan once again. The cobra was Bread to win races and it did just that and mind you these races were not in strait lines
