Cobras lose huge power once they heat up or the weather turns warm/humid. A 30 degree increase in temp was good for minus 40rwhp on my car.
Just goes to show, a Cobra might make 500+ on a dyno sheet, but if it's hot out there could be a reason you're keeping up better than normal.

I drove the car and its fast, I just would think it would turn better track times.
