Most of us talk HP, but torque is really what we want to feel. Most of us drive our cobra's on the street, and 500-550 hp won't ever be tapped in a 35mph zone with a kid and a UPS truck in the way. These HP #s we talk about sound impressive to our buddies, but will never be used on the street. If you race your cobra on the strip or road course and our consistantly running at 6 grand than you can talk your 500-550 HP. Maybe us street driver's should use terms of lb-ft. torque, I think that's what were after.
