Beating the same dead query three times in a row, despite explanations, makes me believe you are driving an agenda, not seeking wisdom and truth.
Not a popular tactic around here.
For what it's worth, from one who was there in the 60's...
The 428 in the 427 Cobra pretty much meant nothing to the average buyer.
Hey? ....just like "Spinal Tap," ...428 was one more than 427.
