As for the RS you raced, its a base model 4cyl.
Your Cobra has 390hp. So Im assuming that should come out to approximately 350whp (correct me if Im wrong as all cars are different). The RS you raced had the Ripp SDS, so he was probably around 300-320whp. I think the main difference was the weight of both cars. I dont know how much your cars weigh, but I know they can be quite heavy. The base RS weighs in at around 2850. So I THINK thats where the race may have been won.
