I suspect that a HP/Cost optimized solution would sell well. In other words, find the apex/peak of a HP and total engine cost curve and target that. Most everyone starts out wanting massive horsepower, but eventually logic sets in and they want the most bang for the buck. If that's a 375 hp 302 vs a 425 hp 331, then so be it. I think most of us that drive Cobra's aren't independently weathly, and the logic of a "smart deal" would override ego (or, so one would think...).
