If any of you have High Def cable there is a show called MotorSport Ranch.

It is a slightly graded road track with horseshoe turns, snake turns and long straight runs.

They had a red Cooper S , green Ford Cobra, and blue english Noble.

The Cooper S absolutely destroyed the other two cars.

Passed them / beat them by a 1/4 of a track length after only 3 laps.

The Coppers handling was astonishing.

Look for show if in your area.
