An F1 car is very light compared to the hp they put out. They also have wings that generate enough down force that they can drive upside down in a long tunnel. Are we building a jet fighter or a sports car? I'm shure you can find a way to strap a jet engine on a Cobra, but can you keep it on the road? Its like shooting frog with a 12 guage shot gun, loaded with 00 buck shot, when it's more fun with a BB gun. I prefer to have FUN driving a "high performance sports car" that can easily be pushed over the limits with a 289 vs driving a 427 big block with 750 hp and having to wear a pair of Depends every time I take a drive. Then again if you are suffering from irregularity a 750 hp big block may be just the right thing.
