Not Ranked
I think that the original Cobras had about 350 HP, give or take. That seemed to be enough to see off the more powerful Chevies of the day in the SCCA. However, we can have as much power as we are able to pay for now in either the original Ford heritage or now, the Chevie. The cost of new Ford or Chevie motors are pretty similar it seems. The costs of speciality built motors is higher. I wonder if it is all about the balance between three things: the set up of the car, the power of the motor and the ability of the driver.
Too much power and not enough ability and, "this is the one that will kill me!" I am not where near the power (or the ability) some of you are talking about and I find it more than enough on the road.
Now Geof, what pistons are you getting?
