Answer to the 390 H.P Cobra!!!!

Have you looked at the price tag on any of the cars?the transam says starting at 42,500 hahahah as long as price isnt an issue anymore why dont you just hop down and buy a new GT40 rated in excess of 500HP.For that kind of money i could goto town and lay down cash on about any vehicle i wanted but it certainly wouldnt be a pontiac or a chevrolet.You can bet money those cars have had everything done to them performance wise that could possibly be done to them.I could go down and buy a 2003 cobra slap a few more performance items on it to boost the power up over 400HP and still drive home with cash in my pocket.
Not to mention general motors is still using pushrod engines with large displacement to get horsepower.pushrod engines are a dead horse IMO general motors needs to look ahead to the future a little bit and design something new.Ford on th eother hand is pumping out 390+ horsepower from a small displacement V8 modular engine 281 cubic inches.
Hell theres guys out there pumping out 400 horse from their honda civics so really those cars arent that impressive to me.
