[QUOTE="Iamchris, post: 15306502, member: 21687"] I agree with all of this. Many people say that the 289 Cobra was a far better car than the 427 because it was better balanced. The Cobra is already very aerodynamically challenged and not a car you want to be pushing that power to the limit in. As a result, you are picking up a lot of power and torque only to make it less stable and harder to manage with little if anything to be gained other than an impressive power to weight ratio that is still relatively useless. I seen one about 10 years ago that had a Cobra motor with a Kenne Belle on it, it was moderately impressive as a talking piece, but that is about it. Honestly, Cobra are cool toys, but they aren't much more than that... why make a toy less efficient is what I would ask. [/QUOTE]
