Thank you, Buzz.
. Bill, to answer your question,
"No, you can never hit WOT in a Cobra on the street with 650HP for any time over an instant."
I have 475 honest, truthful, no BS, no dyno tricks, no fudging the numbers, horsepower at the flywheel. That almost makes me the "weak sister" around these parts. My suspension is as good as it gets, and set up carefully by pros. I have the best you can buy on that car, with the exception of the tires, which are Yokohama, not Avon. I can only hit WOT if I gently roll it on, and then only for a second or two -- not much. Doing that is not safe; not at all. You're an eye blink away from disaster.
Unless you're somebody like Morris (serious big time racing), big HP numbers are just for bragging rights and better smoke outs.
