You might want to reconsider the drivetrain, as 550hp in a 90" wheelbase, 2,100lb car is not like anything else you have ever driven. 500hp in a late model vette (weighing twice as much) is far more civilized and is to be driven on the street differently. 200hp is enough to kill you in a Cobra......



Just saying
