There's merit to that statement. Now suppose, and I'm not saying he did, the OP worded his question like this: I don't plan on racing my Cobra, in fact I probably will never even autocross it in the high school parking lot, and I have never even been in a 500 horsepower car, and the only sub 2500 lb. car I've ever driven was a VW bug back in high school, so do you think just a 400 horsepower Cobra will be ok for me on the street?

I say a 400 horsepower Cobra would be just fine.
