[QUOTE="slider701, post: 10937121, member: 50443"] There is a good (but very long) set of threads on the [url=http://www.clubcobra.com]Welcome to Club Cobra...The world's largest non-biased Cobra site! - Club Cobra[/url] forum where the owner of a 458 started a post about how he challenged a friend of his to a drag race in his Kirkham Cobra. [url=http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-cobra-talk/108904-drag-race-kirkham-65-side-oiler-vs-ferrari-458-italia.html]Drag race - Kirkham 65 side-oiler vs Ferrari 458 italia - Club Cobra[/url] [url=http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-cobra-talk/109196-continuation-thread-drag-race-kirkham-65-side-oiler-vs-ferrari-458-italia.html]Continuation of Thread: Drag race - Kirkham 65 side-oiler vs Ferrari 458 Italia - Club Cobra[/url] [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTf0bj7Ho0U&feature=player_embedded"]Ferrari vs Cobra‏ - YouTube[/nomedia] The owner (Tommy) of the 458, a high power lawyer from DC thought he was going to sucker bet his friend, Dan Blitzeran (a high staked poker player) and take a cool $400K in cash away from Dan.......claiming that the modern technology would smash the 40 year old technology on the Cobra. What the 458 owner didn't count on (or didn't do his homework) was that this Kirkham aluminum bodied Cobra (considered the finest in Cobra continuation cars) weighed in at 2200 lbs and had a 750 hp dual quad tunnel port 482 CID engine built by Keith Kraft. When the first race was done the Cobra laid down a low 10 second run, beating the 458 by several tenths of a second and thus winning the required 1 of 3 races..........and sending the cocky 458 owner home $400K poorer. The two threads played out over several months on the Cobra site, ending in the two owners renting the track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March for this race. Cliffs - The owner of the 750 HP 2200 lb Cobra on drag radials brought a howitzer to a gun fight and just barely won against the 458.......so you might want to make sure you got some serious HP in a 3500 lb Mustang before trying to go 1:1 with a 458.
