Im split on this, because of the reason that in the 60s they 427 was just that...... 427 ci 500/500 at the very most. Now 50 years later there are cars and owners with anything upto nearly 600ci and 700/700. And that's due to modern devolopments with big blocks. Added with chassis technogoly and alloy blocks that have nearly halved the weight of a 427 type car. Horses for courses and brings it into a whole different ball game. The 427 was always gonna be a straight line car cause it was designed and built for big tall Texans that lived on straight roads.
Let's get the big shot gambling guys back with the Kirkham and the 458 and put them round the Ring at Nuremberg . That would be a decisive result.
