You know what they say... If you haven't got wheel spin at the end of the straight, you haven't got enough power.

I am told that the only people who will want a car like this are insecure males with small penises.

Kinda silly anyway. :P

Those of you that whine about needing more torque... 1760Nm = 1300 ft-lbs.

I didn't say that.

Buuuuutttt... I do have to say that I've driven maybe three or four Cobra replicas (one of them being a Superformance with the best suspension) and I thought they were all completely miserable to drive. Just terrible cars. No fun at all.
