How much horsepower is simply ridiculous?

Answer is: 3,600 HP that would give the Cobra the same power to weight as an F-1 car (850 HP in a car that weighs 640-kg with driver)

Actually an F-1 Driver could easily loose control of a Cobra on GP circuit even if it only had 800-hp since he would have no 5,000 lbs of aerodynamic down-force to aid stability at speed.

I admire the Guys on this site that can safely control 500-hp in 2,400-lb car at full throttle or high speed with no modern aerodynamics or stability control
