Not really the Bugatti is about so much more than speed.

I did not mean competition in every sense of the word. I meant in a test of their acceleration skills, maybe a highway run (since the cobra is kinda traction impared).
Also competition in the quest for being the holder of most powerful "production" vehicle, no matterhow limited.
I agree must sound BADASS at 8Krpm.

this thing would decimate the bugatti. the bugatti makes 1000 hp and weighs close to two tons. this makes 1100 hp and weighs a little over a ton.

bugatti claims 0-186 in 14 seconds, this is supposed to hit it in 10 seconds.

It would be a blast to row through the gears on a twisty country road in that car.

"twisty country road"

I do not know how well that thing will handle, that engine weighs a lot. And, if that car weighs just over a ton, we know where a good deal of that weight is. I want to see it on top-gear!!!

Looks like ***, probably drives like a tank.

I'd be much happier with a LS1 powered Factory 5

thats a waste of that engine, now you guys honestly think it could make it to 186 in 10 seconds? That thing is so light that all its going to do is spin the tires, no way it can have good traction, those cars arent ment to have that much hp, they can't utilize it

That's bad ***, but I'd definately want to see that in a Cobra Daytona style coupe instead of the roadster, and yeah, ditch the hood scoop and get me a cowl hood.

that scoop just doesn't fit that car at all, but I would like to start out on about a 1/2 mile long straight and see how far I could leave black marks.

Bugatti has far better aerodynamics. this thing would probably only hit 190.

Bugatti is 250 mph.
