After thinking about it I suddenly realized it would be a CB-1 ...which is sort of an updated high tech "modern" design of the original 427 Shelby Cobra but engineered much better. The CB refers to Corky Bell, who some may know as an automotive genius and turbocharging guru.

a few pertinent stats:
0 - 60mph: 2.85 sec
1/4mi. et: 10.5 sec @ 135 mph
lateral accel: 1.15g
Engine: 385ci / 6.3 Liter Ford Windsor based V8, twin turbocharged, intercooled
weight: 2600 lbs.
weight distribution f/r: 44%/56%
wheels: 17" X 9"F 285/40; 17" X 12"R 345/35

If you have a couple minutes and are interested, look thru the details of this car http://www.cb1project.com/CB1%20Project.swf
