1,100 HP Cobra for Sale at RM Paris

[Bernica]

Overkill? Question is "what will break first?"...the car, your bank account or you!

Patrick will appreciate the twin roll bars, and ya gotta love dat hood scoop!

RM to auction 1,100-hp Weineck Cobra 780 - Autoweek

[ERA Chas]

Pretty standard fare for 6.80 fast street car. 11+" tall deck World or Dart BBC. Those Holleys and air cleaners are a limiting factor-4500's will add at least 100HP. That's a really nice vacuum pump and system. Should be dry-sumped.
We had a 632 easily make 1180HP.

Weineck... an Everett-Morrison with a big block Chevy... sold new for $743,400... expected to sell for $200,000. I never thought I'd say it, but... I wish I went with a big block...

Scotty- just a'big block' or a tall deck? (BBC)

[Jerry Clayton]

Scott----------I still got my big block from 80s and Lenco-----I sold the heads to a boat guy, but his engine with the heads are here for winter refresh-----probably could use them for a day or so----------and my 4 or 5 tunnel rams plus a half dozen dominators are still downstarirs somewhere---------

I wonder if I'd have to move motor forward with the Lenco hooked directly to rear end pinion-------when it gets a little warmer, time to measure

And I've been gathering pieces for the supercharged LS7-------------------

Of course a tall deck. That's gotta add about $650K to the value, right?

[MRGEORGE077]

Wonder how warm it gets in the cockpit during a weekend drive?

Was thinking the same thing but he had quite a time keeping that beast in a straight line. Hard to imagine doubling the hp in one of these cars,no worries will never drive one even if given the chance. Ya right!

Something isn't right, all that power and only running 12.8. Last time I went to track, there was zero prep on track, and I had to peddle four or five times in each gear, and still run 9.90's on M/T Street Radials.

Here's a link to me with street tires, and I look as good as he does....

Turn up the volume...

[BOURRET]

True that more than 12s is not good for this car. I steadily run in the 11.6 with my 482 FE and ends at 125mph. So, I stop dreaming about the Weineck.

[Bernica]

Yes, I have run mid-11's with my 482 and I don't really know what I'm doing on the dragstrip!

[garyjettrike]

I think its moor about the lack of grip and control the XCS Cobra makes it look easy
