Not Ranked
X,
Just read a post "over there" which stated that those drivers were too afraid to drive the 427 Cobra because it scared the crap out of them, that's why they preferred the 289's.
OK,...so how come those same drivers who were too afraid to race the 427 Cobras weren't afraid enough to race MKII and MKIV Ford GT's at Leman's at over 220mph? Phil Hill raced 465cid Chevy BB's in Chaparrals that had nearly 675hp and did quite well. That's about 150hp more than the Fords were producing.
