That is the truth of it...... I very seldom rev to higher than 6000rpm, it just is not necessary.......I built the motor for racing , but have as yet not got on the track...yet! I did do alot of track in S.A. and won some trophies.
But you are right no-one needs an 8000 rpm motor in a Cobra for the street,Hell there is a thread here asking how fast guys have taken their cars and most have barely been over 100mph, (thats barely out of 2nd gear)......so yes 350 HP ,6000rpm in a Cobra is actually plenty power.
