All that time, money and effort and ONLY put down 492 hp to the rear wheels on 5psi?!?!? complete waste. All the bad attributes of a big motor in that little car ++ even more weight because of the blower.

You could make more power, have better balance with a turbo 302. I get it..it's got the cool factor, V12 stuffed into a AC cobra.

I don't know... 500 hp in something that weighs.. what, 2100lbs? That's probably sphinter-tightening.
The original 427 Cobras had about 400hp IIRC? And did 0-100-0 in something like 14 secs.

Granted this thing is probably ridiculously front heavy with that monster crammed in it, but DAMN it looks impressive.

of course I do...and that car was awesome. N/A 460 is a good set up in a AC cobra... a supercharged v12 is not lol
