Question OT: kinda...Cobra smokes ZO6...throws rod

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...4554&q=mustang

Now, is this just due to too much power for the bottom end or bad tuning??

I would think 600hp, as he claims, would not be pushing the car too much as it is 420+ stock and V8, etc.

So if some in here are at 400-500 at the wheels with stock bottom end, is this a possiblity even with good tuining???

03 cobras are capable of 600 rwhp with stock bottom end....this could be because of a bad tune or how the guy drives the car

I had to admit the engine sound was amazing for the few seconds it ran before blowing up.
