Cobra power, how much is enough?
What do you guys think is the "sweet spot" for powering a typical Cobra replica? If the car is to be enjoyed mostly on the streets and driven semi-aggressively on back roads, how much is enough to keep the car fun to drive and feel you have neither over-powered or under-powered the car with the choice of engine? Bragging rights aside, being realistic and keeping driveability in mind for your answer!
Horsepower is fun, especially when you can put it down! Driving a Nissan GT-R with 535HP and 0-60 of 2.8 sec with all wheel drive, dual clutch tranny and launch computer is nothing like driving a Cobra replica with the same HP!  Of course the GT-R can't compare to the raw and exciting experience the Cobra brings either...
So then, would most agree that between 400-500HP is more than enough? Or do many feel between 500-600 is where the sweet spot is? Perhaps below 400 or above 600 for some???  |
