Talk:Shelby Cobra 427/@comment-31044517-20171217223937

This car is dying a slow and painful death as more and more OP Mercedeses are flooding the 1200-1300 bracket.

I have only seen 3 (three) Cobra users in Champion League within the last 2 weeks I played. And they had "barely" made it. I have my Cobra at 1208 but I stopped investing V8s in it. Max Proing the Corvette I won in EDD is a much wiser choice. I could still make the champions league if my Cobra had two more tires making it 1232 but it would be very tough.

The OP SLKs keep rubbing all Cobras of their points. So most of Cobras are in the 1800s. When an SLK is in a race (sometimes there are a few of them together) every Cobra is robbed at least one rank at the finish. And when there's no SLKs and you win, you get less points from other Cobras because they were all regularly robbed by those SLKs. They have less points to give. So you have to reach the Champions League by beating Cobras in the 1800s which doesn't give much points.

Another problem is the overtuned Cobras at 1290s. Those cobras regularly beat the 1234 and the 1254 Cobras but they also regularly lose to 1390 Sagarises so their points are still low. So while the Cobras have to feed the continuously increasing SLKs in their ranks, they also feed 1390 Sagarises thanks to those idiots who overtuned their Cobras.

In all, the Cobra is definitely in its death bed.

I stopped using my Cobra when I reached 1870s. I get much much better results with my  1766 Grand Sport as the guys I beat with it in Tokyo, Azure Coast etc are guys who are in the Champions League giving me huge points when I win. I would certainly hit the Champions League even with my 1766 Grand Sport if I had an extra week.
