When you mentioned weight I was reminded of a 427 Shelby Cobra that usually has a curb weight of 2355 lbs. What a rocket ship. I was riding my bike on a paved back road and a Cobra passed me, doing all of 20mph. The driver looked about 80 years old and I don't know why he was going so slow. I yelled 550hp? and he said yes. I followed until he turned on to a road with posted speed of 55. I wanted to see him crank that 427, which sure sounded mean. He shifted gears and I swear he never got above 1500rpm
and a top speed of 45. What a let down.
