"Evan Like" debate. I like that. 
Bandit: As Ron pointed out what you have is a specially prepared modern hot rod built beyond the original performance specs, at least from an accelaration standpoint, of the origninal or continuation series Cobras utilizing origninal spec FE drive trains. Why anyone needs more than 500 hp in a 2400 lbs car is beyond me unless you intend to seriously drag race it at the track. But to each their own.
From a handling standpoint and performance standpoint my questions were more directed at a standard SPF with a basic 460 or 351. How and why do they out perform a CSX? Wheres the proof or data to support that?
As to crash worthiness? You guys can't be serious. None of these chasis meet current federal crash worthiness requirments nor have or is there any survivability data on these cars, at least to my knowledge. It would seem to me that if your'e crashing hard enough to deform any of the chasis we are talking about here your'e in deep dodo in any of these cars. In short, deforming or non deforming if your slammed by a Suburban head on you'll be just as dead whether your frame rails remain strainght or whether they bent at pre-determined points.
Get REAL.
