I had the answer in mind when I posted this. Just curious what others thought.

In my opinion -
Heavy car or truck;
-as much torque as you can get down low
-heavy flywheel
-HP not even a question

Light car;
-HP in a range that is useful
-Lighter flywheel
- enough torque to get the car moving

Back to my question;
"For example in a street driven Cobra would you prefer;
520 hp at 6000rpm and 540 torque at 4500rpm or
450 hp at 5200rpm and 570 torque at 4500rpm."

I would say the 520hp at 6000 and 540 torqe at 4500 is the best for a Cobra. A 30 pound flywheel in an FE should be in the ball park.
