One of my neighbors in Birmingham had a 2004 Cobra with a "few" modifications. It showed 607hp on the dyno and was a daily driver. The biggest problem with it was it wouldn't / couldn't hook up the power in a consistent manner. It could smoke the tires until the cows came home but it wasn't a whole lot of fun to drive until you got it off the line and got the speed up a little. You can put as much power as you want under the hood but if the suspension isn't ready for it...good luck!

A Metro could have beat that thing in 0 to 100 feet!!!

I personally think one of the reasons so many people like the Boxster is it's consistent and predictable when you apply the gas. It doesn't get twitchy like so many other cars.
