If a 1300 lb dragster can put 2500+ HP to the ground and pull a sub 5 second quarter there is no reason a 2200 lb Cobra can't put 600 to the ground. Some sticky 17's or even the old BFG's aired down for the light car do pretty well. It's in the tire and suspension setup. Of course if you setup for drag racing it is not going to handle the twisties as well as it could.

While yes you can spin the tires when you want with a 600 HP cobra you can also put it to the ground pretty damn well with street tires if you are setup well and learn to work it.
I personally like the 20-80-20 MPH range and find that to be the fun range for a street car.


Oh yeah, Welcome to the insanity Roy.
