Again, you can NOT use generalizations when speaking of engines.

But I can use generalizations as most cobra enthusiasts do not buy super trick builds costing upwards of $30K and more. What does that 5.5" stroker that revs to 9000 RPM cost? Better yet, what are the chances there is a member here with such a motor, slim and none.
That's been your problem with this debate all along, you fail to see that for the common enthusiast, certain general rules do apply and are totally applicable to the motors they consider for these cars. They are not exotic limited production builds that you continually reference as your "examples", that's just nuts, no one here uses them in these cars.
Here's the general reality for the guys that want to keep it reasonable in the motor department, and what they consider when making their decisions.
