need along road and big gangollies to do that in a cobra.  |
C'mon mate - getting a bit carried away with the laws of physics there...
HP required to push a Cobra's aerodynamic deficiencies would be substantial. Not to say that it can't be done, but you'd want 4-digit power figures to pull it off. Now, having said that - if you build it, and achieve the results on the salt flats, there'll probably be any number of Cobra fanatics "pulling it off" that you had pulled it off... (so to speak)
