I'll jump in with my opinion

I have small block making 400 rwhp, fast, tires are the problem. Car weights about 2350 lbs without gas and driver.

I get to drive my buddies big block Cobras, 461 to 482 ci FEs. 600 to 620 flywheel hp. Very Fast, they never run out of steam.

I think 600 flywheel hp is just right for a 2400 lb Cobra.

Gas tank. I have a 17 gallon tank and get 20 miles to the gallon. Three hours of driving and I need to get out and stretch. I have driven to the London Cobra Show, 535 miles one way, for the last 9 or 10 years so I know a little about long drives in a Cobra. Good seat is very important. Most Cobra seats are back killers.
