1200+ HP in a 2300 lb. car is way to much, IMO) I guess that's evidenced by all the repairs that have been made. Personally, I don't see how the 500 - 600 HP FE guys and gals can keep their cars on the road (by that I mean keep the rear tires "hooked up" without melting them down to the rims). My 351C is only pushing around 400 HP and it is more than a handful under hard acceleration. Of course "fish tailing" down the street does have its merits. It certainly gets everyone's attention) I'm kinda curious as to why that "local businessman" just didn't go out and buy an Atlas rocket and put some wheels on it. Nah.... that probably wouldn't have been as fast. Too bad the Coyote didn't have a Cobra. That Road Runner would have been dinner for sure.
