Trying to sell a Cobra and telling the prospective buyers that it's only 400 hp....again, not a selling point.

I'm in hardy agreement that part of the builder's role is to "size up" the customer, talk over all different options, then meet his needs to the fullest. But, you wouldn't believe how many guys have come to me saying, my engine is 400, 450, 500, 550 hp, and I'm getting used to it...I need something more.

There are lots of guys out there that can handle a large amount of horsepower in a tiny car...
Great point, that's why I'm getting a Blykins built FE, need more POWER
