Not Ranked
You all assume that everyone is buying a Cobra for it's "resale value", "it's a real Shelby Cobra", or "for road racing".
Evan:
I by no means was saying the SPF was the only modern Cobra, My comments were about the conversation between Mr. Semko and Mr. Dickey on the choice between a "CAV" Shelby Cobra or a SPF Cobra.
Mr. Excalibur:
I have driven fast cars and bikes for years, as I said (and quote me...) the Superformance Cobra's (even the 600+ horsepower cars) are very easy to drive, period. I am not comparing them to anything, I am only making a statement to the quality and design of the Superformance Cobra's.
Evan:
Do some research on engine weights before you make crazy statements. The 427 s.o. engine isn't 1/10th the engine the 460 engine is, ask ANY engine builder.
It is FACT that the 427 Cobra's were not that easy to drive. Do you really think that ERA, SPF, JBL, etc... haven't been able to improve on the suspension, chassis, brakes, steering, etc.. of a almost 40 year old design?
Why don't the CSX owners quit bragging all of the time and have a one-on-one competition (in a featured magazine) against a 427c.i. S.O. CSX4000 Cobra and a 514c.i. (overweight) Superformance Cobra (T-Bird chassis and all). The Superformance Cobra (at $50,000.00 less) will beat the CSX4000 Cobra at everything except for excuses why it lost every competition.
