I have posted on this issue a number of times. There is a "sweet spot" for predominantly street-driven Cobras and that spot is well below 500hp. Many of those lo-mileage Cobras were "over-built" by their owners. Ask Excalibur about his experience in turning a not-so-fun Cobra in to a mucho-fun Cobra.
