WOW! Such vitreol from so many blue oval people! I reiterate, beautiful engine, huge numbers, but what is the HP/$? Sounds like building the engine was all about how much power could be produced, but with a bottomless money pit, what could not be accomplished? I guess I have a different outlook. I have my little, low-buck Cobra, with its low-buck Chebby engine, that runs in the 10s, after driving it 75 miles to the strip, and then back. I guess I could spend huge dollars on an exotic engine to get the same results, but I'd rather have the residual money to take a few trips to Italy.
