In contrast to Ace23 (and I do understand his position), I was in high school when CSX2000 rolled out of Dean Moon's shop, and I have lusted after these cars ever since. The "originals" have always been just a little too far out of my financial reach. When I finally got to a point in life where I could actually afford a replica Cobra, my goal, was to as closely as possible, replicate the experience of driving an original 427 Comp car. I believe my "old school" FE side-oiler (even has a good 'ol SFT cam) in my SPF comes pretty close to accomplishing that goal. So, for me, the FE was the only option.
