Let's forget about the SPF vs. CSX for a second. What if I'm comparing an FE-powered SPF to a 460-powered SPF?
I guess I'm confused as to where the 460's advantage is. I know that they can be built to have 500+ hp and 500+ ft lbs of torque, but so can an 427 or 428 FE.
One would think that the 460 would have the advantage on the dragstrip, but from what I've seen, both will run low to mid-11 second times (if equally prepared). There are street-legal FE-powered replica Cobras right here in KC that turn 11-second ET's on street tires, and Nick Nero once told me that his original CSX went 10.80.
So from there, you have to look at handling and braking. The 460 is heavier than the FE, so the obvious assumption is that the FE car will win that race, too.
Besides the fact that the 460's are cheaper, where do you feel that they have the edge over the FE's???
