there could be nothing added or taken away from the time the bet was made until the race.
The 458 is far from slow motion, but if that cobra was on slicks or even DR's it would have looked that way.
Cars had to be completely stock, and for a Kirkham that was stock trim a sold. The 458 was sitting on Pirelli PZero's. The launch control would have made it a little closer, but he still would have lost. Clutches disengaged and the motor holds at 3000 rpm WOT, release brake and the clutch feathers in taking cues from the traction control - max power minimal slip.
