Bandit 1: Funny. I have done alot of reading and don't recall reading anything about former 427 racers saying the 427 Cobra was their "least" favorite car to race. Can you cite me to references? You say this was said in every article you read? What former 427 racers told you it was their least favorite car to race or said it in print so I know who to ask?

Where any of the drivers you refer to the ones who drove the 427 Cobra to any of its SCCA A production titles?

I have, however, read articles where drivers indicated a preference for the 289. So?

Motor Trend just established the 427 Cobra as quicker through their slalom course than the 289. This and the 427's SCCA record I think clearly establishes the 427 as a competent racer in the right hands.

So if we are talking about short wheel base when we say "chasis" doesn't the SPF have a 90" wheelbase too? And if both the SPF and the CSX have the same wheel base what technological advantage does the SPF have in the handling department? Just curious.
