Super sentra is 6.4lb/hp.
Now a cobra at 6.0lb/hp is going to need ~620whp to get there.
6.4 needs 578whp.
6.8 needs 544whp.
Just throwing the numbers out there. Just for kicks. Remember, the lowest avg lb/hp wins.

There's a lot of other things to take into consideration then numbers. Putting down the power is a lot harder in a lightweight WWD then it is in a RWD vehicle that is set up for power. Look at boostednx's post. Those are VERY minimal mods on the Cobra and they're going to see 10's. What happens when the Cobra owner starts spending serious coin?
These discussions come up every few months and I always attempt to put owners egos in check. There's definitely always someone who is faster but there's also a reason displacement does so well. I imagine there's not many people who have owned more cars then me on this forum. Especially as wide of a variety. That being said with my experience nothing beats out a bigger motor (straight line).
