Awwww, man.
In a Cobra, I guess that's true. But, I always try and get my engine running at its tippy-top right before I put her away in her seal-a-meal bag for the winter (which I did last week). I took her out for the last drive of the year and it was in the 50's (which is arctic weather, in my book). With the cold air, and the cold tires, I could not safely push the throttle more than half way to the floor for more than a second or two. I don't know how an additional dose of horsepower would do a thing for me. And, if there was the slightest bit of "streetability"* taken away by the horsepower fairy that wanted to wave her magic wand and give me a magic extra 100 horsepower, I would politely decline the gesture.
EDIT -- *
streetability, longevity, or increased maintenance. (I need the last one like a I need a hole in the head.)
