A local builder here in Sacramento built a blown 460 Arntz/Butler Cobra several years back. Basically started from scratch and it was featured in an 80s issue of one of the car magazines. Budget was $120K. Basically a hand made work of art if you like custom cars. It was juggled around to a few owners making changes. The blower sort of took away from the sidepipe crackle sound a bit. It was a neat car and all, but I'd rather see a modern, normally aspirated 512+ in one instead. It would seem to me that if one could not get enough grunt and tire spin out of a blueprinted 512, then something else is wrong.
