I thought this quote of a comment by John Calvert, driver of the Winternationals-winning Cobra Jet was interesting, coming from the "horse's mouth," as it were....

And, I quote:

"Racing-specific equipment that has been added includes a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 rated at 425 horsepower. Mr. Calvert said he could squeeze 700 out of it “with just a few simple tune-up tricks.” It also comes with a 6-speed manual transmission (an automatic is optional), an explosion-proof clutch housing and racing brakes.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................................
