The funny thing is, the magazine article doesn't reflect the matchup in FS,
unless they've re-classed the SS/WS6 cars back to FS. We're back to the
$30,000+ Cobra IRS vs. a $20,000 standard Z28/Formula. How THAT happened,
I'll never know. I do know that it'd be REAL funny if the Cobra still got
whupped......
