Remember reading about this one in EVO - that's right the 12.9 litre 1100bhp carbon bodied road legal uber dragster...

Now there's talk of a 16 litre 1600bhp model, heaven forbid!

0-124mph in 6.5 seconds. Interesting.

Proper dragsters have to tiptoe round corners and have the turning circle of an aircraft carrier. Judging by the quoted acceleration figures that's what this Cobra is. So I don't think I'll be buying one.

Wouldn't mind hearing one strutting its stuff though.

I think it´s pretty much road legal, and the link was a good test of my German - interesting that the had to source a rear diff from a Nascar to cope with the power!
They mentioned 200kDM at the end, approx 80k sterling. Bargain I reckon.
