The Cobra Jet was originally a "paper car" assembled by Tasca Ford and presented to Ford. It's whole purpose was to give Ford a competitive combination in the very popular drag racing classes of that time. It's low HP rating was not accidental.
Even though you don't seem to like the Supra, it is not a "paper car". It runs the production motor. Everything else is what the current rule book allows.

Those first cars may have been conceived by Tasca Ford, but they were actually "assembled at Holman-Moody/Stroppe in California. They were then passed on to specific racers who were deemed to be the bast options for a successful debut. The actual production cars came at a later date. They showed up at the AHRA Winternationals where they were allowed to race in Stock Eliminator. But when they arrived in Pomona, NHRA deemed the potential production numbers were too low, and placed them in Super Stock....Kinda' like those pesky Hemi cars. ...But we should never allow the facts to get in the way of a good story...Should we???
