EASY ON THE DETROIT BOYS!!
I'm a firm believer of good ol carbureted power and efficiency, but we have to keep in mind that these cars don't go through emisions tests, don't have to keep catalytic converters alive and working properly for 100k and those types of concerns that are very real in the minds of us "detroit guys".
In the after market we have lots of luxuries that the EPA doesn't let the OEMs get away with.
Keep in mind also the weight differences you are trying to compare, a fully loaded full size SUV weighs TWO TIMES what a typical cobra kit weighs, and with heated and air conditioned seats starting to be the normal option content they are only getting heavier...
Sorry to go off a little here, but the life of the detroit engineer aint as easy as we all think it is. I'd hate to subject you guys to some of the product development meetings Jay and I have been through in the past, painful is an understatement!
Sounds like I need to talk to this Chris about his engine building techniques, we sound allot alike, I've lost plenty of sleep thinking over such things!
This is a great site!
Thanks again Don for turning around CR2, I look forward to buying a kit from you someday, once I get all these other projects finished!
Here's the eBay item number to my drag car for sale if you know anyone that may be interested:
