Given the very nature of this memberships composition and the fact that most of the readers either have, or are planning for, or are anticipating delivery, or are building their own, they are all Cobra enthusiasts and have their own particular vision of what will bring pure thrill of ownership and hopefully provide profound satisfaction when driving. Thus, IMHO each person will have a strong opinion on why they chose what they did.
Arguably, all the available choices regarding engines, size, torque, plus tires, transmissions, number of roll bars, paint color, stripes, no stripes or if it should be an exact copy of the original or modified to suit the owners preferences can be discussed at length with counter arguments, recommendations and suggestions put forth for consideration and counter discussions.
That is what makes this Club Cobra Forum what it is: WORLD CLASS.
Now if each of the various posts either ask or answer a question or opine on the merits of what has been said I can see how such comments could be considered as being derivative of a basic philosophical curiosity of the Cobra given, philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with existence, knowledge, values, reason, and experiences and is distinguished from other ways of addressing such issues by its critical, systematic approach and its reliance on generally rational discussion and argument. Phew!
So Glen, when you innocently throw out how much power is enough or when others ask what is best, BB or SB or which tranny is best, you can bet your bippy you will receive a diverse response from all spectrums and members and get a few smart ass comments like mine thrown in just for good measure. But I am guessing, that you original question was rhetorical since you have already made up your mind and are just looking for confirmation that you are making the right choice.
Sorry guys, I could just not let this one go unanswered.
Now back to how much power is enough and my answer is this: get an engine with as much power as you can manage since you only live once and remember, in general, the guys with lot's of power typically have large brass ballz, a big swingin' stick, cuss a lot, walk with a swagger, have an attitude bigger than a bus, drink a lot, like their ladies hot, have nerves of steel and don't take S*** from anyone, anywhere, at any time.
But then that's just my opinion.
