Charley, that'd be 'Jackass'...

...no, I mean the car.

What they don't tell you is that the guy driving the Cobra is a National Autocross Champion that owned a chain of driving schools. That car kicked everyone's ass. I think it was making 810 hp at the rear wheels. I think my Camaro got up to about 130 on the back straight. I think the Cobra was hitting about 160. The Cobra owner bought it new in 66, pretty cool that he still has it. Kind of the Ken Barnhart of Cobras...

Charley, love the LS9 powered car,very awesome and congrats on the road course part of the challenge. My only question is, was the guy driving Detroit Speeds 69 camaro a professional driver, because I know their car does not have as much power as yours, because most of the time Kyle or Stacy Tucker drive it, and I have seen Ryan drive it at a couple of Goodguys shows.
