Yes definitely. When Carroll Shelby decided to design Cobras to compete head to head against Ferrari in the 1960s Le Mans races the Cobras proved extremely competitive - particularly the big-block versions. Compared to today's Ferrari though, the typical AC Cobra you see on roads these days would struggle to keep up with even a 360 Modena around a race circuit.
