Karl you are missing the point. While my motor is truly a boat anchor right now, I didnt have any desire to try to go that fast in my cobra. I could of built 4 drag cars for what I spent for my csx but that wasnt what I wanted. I could of have keith craft build me a BB ford with 14:1 compression and nitrous that would be that fast for less money than I spent on my 511 but it wasnt the point. That is a purpose built drag car, period. Pull the motor and put in a 521 ford racing motor or a KC SBF pulling 900 horses and squirt it with nitrous and it will be as fast.

The difference is that is is still worth less to sell than the sum of its parts and will only be purchased by someone who is a drag racer as you sure wouldnt want to try to make that car streetable.(although it would be fun trying)

The bottom line is no one ever looks at a cobra and says" too bad it doesnt have a big block chevy"(except for you) It isnt a difference of being able to beat it, it is whether someone wants to
