What you have to remember is that a cobra is not exactly aero efficient so considering 11s is not really what they are designed for. They are designed to make you love them, to make you smile and give you a thrill every time you ride them, to scare the **** out of you when you don't treat them with care and to kill you if you abuse them.

Pretty much like a good woman.

If you want an under 11s get a drag car

To get the "right" power for you, look at your torque and hp and consider what will it accelerate like? Look at your gears and diff ratio and consider what top speed, how easy to spin the wheel.

To get a a car you will never let go of, get one or build one that means something to you and sod every one else's opinion, after all we all believe our cobra is the best one ever made.

Btw, mine is an ls6 468 bhp at flywheel, 441 lbs torque per ton.
