The Cobra is the most copied kit car on the planet. Some kits are good and some aren't worth a darn. A couple years ago there was a discussion on here about how much HP you could get out of a small block Chev. I think the consensus was that over 400 HP would require quite a bit of work. I think just about any decent V-8 would have good acceleration in a Cobra and have heard the small block Cobra's handle better. The original 427 Cobra(500 HP approx.) set the the 0 to 60 record for a production car that lasted for many years. It was finally beat by another Shelby car, the Dodge Viper. I think if remember, the Cobra could from 0 to 100 MPH and back to 0 in 10 seconds. It might have only been 0-60-0. They had one of the highest HP to weight ratings of any car ever built. Unless you were on a dragstrip with racing slicks and traction compound, a 500 HP Cobra would just burn the tires off in short order trying to see how fast it would accelerate. I bet half that HP would be more than enough. Dave

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
