Why does that matter..? The point of drag racing is having the fastest car, at all possible costs....

Just making an observation. Most people, like you for instance. Have never owned a full on race car. And don't know all of the head aches that go along with it. It's worth looking into before spending 100 large on a Cobrajet. It matters because 100 grand buys a lot of buyers remorse. if you don't go into the purchase knowing all the facts.

Mid 8 seconds is a big variable 8.4 to 8.6. So they still aren't really saying much. They don't say how much it weighs and say it would run over 150 MPH.
At 3000 lbs it would take 950 HP to run 8.36 seconds at 159 MPH
That is also true, but if you don't think the boys over at Chevy and Dodge have an idea of what this car makes your mistaken

I didn't say the competition didn't have an idea. All the cars in this class run really close numbers. You asked what HP it made to run mid 8 seconds and I told you. I don't know what the race weight of the cars are though. So that 950 HP is just an estimate @ 3000 lbs. But I'm sure it's right around there HP wise.

I didn't ask for the HP. Another poster was bummed that they released a bunch of details but no power figures. You then said why let the competition know the power levels, to which I responded it can probably be figured out pretty easily by someone smarter than me, and that when you let them know the MPH and ET I didn't see harm in releasing power figures.
