All this garbage started from this statement in post 10.
I have aired my views on legalities.
What others do and get away with is entirely up to them.
End of discussion.

I don't understand why every thread has to turn into a peeing match between 2-3 guys. It gets old pretty quick.

I guess I'll ask again. What legalities where you live make a completely street able (and reliable) car not legal because of its horsepower?
That near 800rwhp coyote powered backdraft is more than likely more street able than the majority of Cobras with half the power on this site (including my car). |

We have power to weight ratio modification limits.

Yup. Fully agree!
Constructive criticism is fine, but then move on back to a constructive discussion. When the P_ssing match starts, I just lose interest. It's not what we are all here for IMHO.

Little disappointed the power to weight ratio came up short of this:

If the discussion stays on the original topic, a great BDR with almost 800HP or we debate the legalities of Cobras and Australian laws, then I'm good.
If someone wants to start the "holier than thou, safety of friends and family is #1" nonsense, then I'm calling BS. In the final analysis, most folks come up WAY short and shouldn't be opening their mouth. It's as simple as that.
Actually, what we really need is another engine build thread with gratuitous rod bearing and intake manifold bolt pictures. Or possibly a pic of a distributor hold down bracket could really cool.  |

Please spare us, because I'm sure you always make sure your brakes, tires and other safety equipment on all your cars need nothing, you and your family drive the safest vehicles available on the road today with latest safety equipment, you don't drink alcohol or sugary drinks or smoke or run yellow and/or red lights, floss and brush your teeth, make sure everyone in your family sees the dentist and doctor on a regular basis, exercise daily, eat a low fat low carb diet, etc.

Well that ^ sounds just like me!
I mean, except for the part about running yellow/red lights, I only do that on my bicycle.
Oh yeah, and I reckon that low fat, low carb malaki is a fallacy...
What were we talking about again...?
Oh yes! That koenigsegg looks like something out of TRON!
I wonder how it go against a 800hp BDR down the 1/4? |

Well, as a vender, I know how frustrating it can be when you post something that you feel is really awesome and cool....then a couple guys go full PMS and detract from the coolness of the thread.....just sayin'.
And to help inject a little more humor back in the post....here you go Rod.

Warm up those Billboards, get out a couple of GoPro's and put it through some paces! Safely, and on a closed course!

The title with the smiley face says it all for me. I'm always happy to see people having a great time on projects like this.
Great post Cashburn. Excellent stuff.
What has the world come to when people start pissing and moaning about too much horsepower on a Cobra forum? THIS IS A COBRA FORUM. IT IS ABOUT CARS WITH TOO MUCH HORSEPOWER THAT STINK AND ARE A PAIN IN THE BUTTOCKS. Has the world gone completely insane? Has the E85 fuel gotten to everyones heads?
Next someone will be chiding us about the air pollution the car is putting out and 'what about the children'. I'm going over to Gasholes where men can act like men.
[edit - 10 minutes later] Sorry to flake on your nice thread Cashburn. But I was filling my car with E85 fuel just now and I don't know what came over me.

+1 Thanks for bringing me back to reality.
For a minute I thought I stumbled onto the Prius board.

There's a good article in the latest Hot Rod magazine about the 572ci big block Ford that just won the Amsoil Engine Challenge. Around 850hp. A 385 series. Perfect for your next project Cashburn!
