I'm late in on this subject, but my two cents:

I think the original question was whether a 2500 LB Cobra can use 600HP.

I think the answer is yes it can. No, you can't punch it in any gear, except maybe fifth or better. But I think common wisdom on the board is that you never punch a cobra.

I can floor it in third, fourth and fifth without noticable wheel spin, but I'm talking easing it to the floor, and by then admittedly, its pretty much time to shift. You feed the tires what they'll take, but I certainly do feel that all the power is available and deployable with traction, though not as a constant.

Speedshifting at full throttle like it was an old chevy?? Don't think I'm gonna go there.
