Randall- I agree with your semi-sarcastic realism. The only point I differ with is the point that a Superformance Cobra can take such motors. I guess it boils down to what our mutial definition of "can take it" means. In my NHRA world a factored 350 horsepower 2500 lb car runs in the mid to high 10's all day long with control. Just because a 800 horse motor can be shoe horned into a car and it doesn't shake itself apart doesn't mean that a car can "take" the power. In that respect a Superformance fairs no better than any other Cobra I've been in or worked on. And trust me, I've been in a BUNCH of big block Cobra cars.
Bill, I'd love to see that thing in a 90 inch wheel base car. Just the thing I was talking about above.
