Not Ranked
It's in a 96" wheelbase cobra (the long wheelbase version, not to say that 96" is long, but it is longer than a normal cobra).
It has no roll cage *yet*. And, it's not running *yet*.
It also has more frame than most, and it much heavier than most.
What physical problem are you referring to regarding handling the power? The chassis and power train will take it. Barring mechanical failure, it is as sound as any high horsepower nut-job car. Most 8 second drag cars crash sooner or later; whether it's a cobra or not.
Sure, this power level is nuts. That's why it will be used for straight line, bragging rights, ect...and the blow-off will be set to a much more sane level on the street. Just because it *can* make 1000hp doesn't mean it'll be configured like that all the time. At the turn of a knob, I can go from 3psi to 17psi at will. At 3psi; it should make about 600rw...which is plenty.
