Default The type of cobra IS relevant to engine selection...

In terms of horsepower and torque. For instance I am VERY glad that I blew off the many "That's too much HP" suggestions. The 514 (600+HP and torque) motor is barely powerful enough for my heavier-than-average West Coast replica. It's enough to bring the grin factor. In a lighter replica, 400 to 450 horses might be just fine.
