Around 400 wheel HP and drag radials on a Cobra on a normal road in which you could pull a modest 1.8 60ft time you'll be in the low 3s to 60 mph and run a low 11 1/4 mile around 123 to 125 mph. The BMW wouldn't even be close to a Cobar with 350 at the wheels. 300 at the wheels and we might have a race.
Yes, the 60 ft time is a relation to speed because it indicates usable power.
If one would have a 2.73 rear gear most would hit 60 mph in first gear and save a good .25 to .3 not having to shift. A little slower start, no shift, same diffrence to 60 mph if not even faster with the 2.73.
Here ya go. I've tested all of these cars in the same place as well as many others. I like to pull out this graph for threads like this. All of these cars are faster than the BMWs unless they came out with some new 650 or 700 HP model I'm not aware of. The Cobra in the graph is 475HP at the tires. The other cars are stock.
