Agreed. It's nice to finally see a high power super car that has a true old-school sports car look to it. If it only has a 4 sp tranny, I wonder how low they have it geared and what the top gear runs out to. I doubt it will hit the high speed of the Bugatti due to aerodynamics, but that thing still gotta fly.

While I can appreciate the effort and engineering that went into those Cobras, I am still left wondering....Why?
That much power is not, has not and will never be usable or even enjoyable on the street. Now if we are talking chest pounding and bragging rights....
But, then again, I've always been one to stand around scratching my head at what others will spend thier money on. I'm sure many do the same to me in return.

Not usable on the street to who?
A motorcycle is good for basic transportation. There is no reason to ride a 1000cc motorcycle on the street. Vehicles that can clear 200mph and run 10 second quarter miles in stock form. There is no reason, yet, people do it.
I'm pretty sure I'd find some use for 1200hp on the street.

Yeah, making friends with every gas station attendent, comitting suicide, or mass murder.

I'm responsible enough to be judicious with my right foot. I don't suffer from the "my turbo spooled at 1200RPM and I lost control" syndrome.
But I probably would track the car. Because there you can run 345 width Hoosier soft's and get them hot enough to be able to hook up... in 3rd gear.

I wasn't saying that you can't drive it on the street. I would not pass up the opportunity to take it for a spin. I was simply refering to being able to use more than 300-400 HP in a rear wheel drive car on the street. That leaves ~800HP as unusable.
IMO, of course.

Wow, that much horsepower, without the last couple decades of aerodynamics technology, is a recipe for disaster!
I love the look of those old cobras though. One of my favorites.

my neighbor has a factory 5 with a worked 347. I havent got a ride in it but soon hopefully.
the weineck would be a great track car, or street car if you lived in say central montana or nevada. in my town there is a freakin shit ton of cops and they are always on the prowl and hiding in different places so probably wouldnt work too well.

I hardly have opportunity to use the 160 HP in my Mazda.

IMO the perfect amount of street-car-power is in the 350 to 450whp range. Fast enough to be fun, but likely able to still have low-speed drivability. By buddy has a 366whp GTO, and it's quick, but being a bit faster would be more fun.
You don't need 1200whp to have fun in the turns, but all-out acceleration is fun! You don't even need 100hp to have fun in the turns (look at the Miata!)

Or look at a T-Rex with 150. That's where I'm heading. If this damn state lets me register my design as a motorcycle, I'll be looking at 40+ mpg, 0-60 in the 5s, and well over a g lateral with weather protection, relatively comfortable seating for 2, a little luggage space, and enough size (and weirdness) to make sure oblivious drivers see it.

Man, I used to drool over the T-Rex. Now I'm all about the Arial Atom. That thing is just about perfect, other than the price.
Once I get the SS to where I want it (soon hopefully) I'm gonna build a locost (Lotus 7 clone) with spare parts I have laying around the garage. Mostly Miata suspension with a T-bird SC motor/5-speed combo. I'm hoping for 250 HP/350 Lb/ft of torque at about 1500-1800 pounds wet.
Because I already have 80% of the actual hardware my cost to build should be less than 5 grand. (crosses fingers)

You know what's cool about that Cobra? It's actually tuned. Even from 12.9 liters, 1100hp is impressive with no FI. They didn't just decide to make the car fast by simply slapping a huge engine into it and not bothering to tune it properly.
