I used to be into drag racing.....until I discovered road racing 
No longer have any drag oriented cars but some of mine can still hold thier own there in handling trim.
However you will probably like this pic of a friends Coupe from about 5 or so years ago....
Naturally aspirated 347.....ran High 10's or low 11's(don't remember exactly what he got down to) in street trim....and ofcourse mini-tubbed for the fat rear tires on Monocoque wheels but still retained the factory back seat

if i had a 93 cobra, id drop a 347 stroker, add some artificial respiration, and mke it applicable to most forms of racing. I.E. Slap some slicks on it when i wanted to go to the track, or leave the low profiles on for street racing, etc...IMO if the car is fast enough, why not use it for all racing, a little bit of all is better than all of one. IMO

It could be a fake. Or it could have been a salvage car that couldnt be titled. I know of a few rollers that cant be titled have shown up on other forums. Most people make them into drag cars or autox.

Do you know this for a fact? Just asking because I also find this odd on why you would take a cobra that could be worth a lot of money and pretty much ruin it. I mean the car looks great but it could have been done on a gt for a ton less money.
