Back to the original subject.

My first Cobra had a nice warmed over 302 putting out about 375 hp. I could mash the throttle anytime and get immediate traction with nothing scary happening.

But it wasn't enough! Upgraded to 438 cubes putting out about 550 horsepower and now I have to limit my enthusiasm because if I go too far with the go pedal, all kinds of scary things can happen. Definitely taught me to drive by feel rather than just floor it and go.
