Not being a smart arse here but how many actually drive that 6-800hp , radical cam, 90'' wheelbase car at the speeds the motor/drive train was designed for frequently, if ever on the streets? Be honest if you own one of these do you take it to get the wife a quart of milk or eggs or come home from a bad day at work and take it out for a little spin?

I've seen a lot of of 6-800+hp cars, not just Cobras, that look awesome, sound mean and nasty but are rarely street driven. Why?, because they are a handful of nasty and generally don't run well at low RPM. and most of them are either trailer or garage queens.

I like my mild little SB that I can drive where and when I want. Yeah it'd be nice for the ol' ego to having a thunder thumping monster under the hood..... but reality is different if you want a driver not just a showboat or 2 or 3 times a year track car.

But each to their own and more power to you.
