To run and analyze a survey properly, you would probably have to use Survey Monkey and ask at least 5-10 questions about affordability, authenticity, intended and actual usage, brand, model (289, 427), production and completion dates, age, gender, etc.
And then, get a representative sample of the roughly 1,100 BDR's, 3,000+ SPF's, 800 Kirkham's, 800 ERA's, 5,000 (?) FFR's, 2,000-ish (pure guess) CSX's, Unique's, Arntz's, etc.
The 50 +/- people who answer these polls on ClubCobra is not a representative sample and the polls aren't sufficiently detailed enough to draw any conclusions.

Truer words were never said Sheldon, except maybe when Jamo said "useless states East of the Rockies".

Is there a point to this survey? If so, what is the point? Are you attempting to prove, refute or invalidate a statement, theory, claim, assertion of some kind?
Let's say that 70% of the 427 Cobra's have SBF's.
And of that 70% who own 427 Cobras with SBF's, 60% of them could afford any engine configuration they wanted, but chose SBF because of one or more of the following:
a) SBF's rev quicker than BBF's,*
b) SBF's are easier to maintain than BBF's,*
c) SBF's don't leak, BBF's do,*
d) SBF's are lighter and Cobra's will handle better when SBF's are installed,*
e) SBF's are cheaper to build than BBF's *
(* according to some)
And what does that get you? None of it means anything since the sampling is tainted by: a) opinions, b) every engine is built differently, even by the same engine builder in different environments on different days, c) engines have not been weighed, d) cars have not been weighed, e) FI or carb, f) aluminum or steel flywheel, blah, blah, blah.
This survey and any survey that follows is useless and a waste of server space. 
Thank you very much. I'll be here all week. And tip your waiters and waitresses.

Who is "we" as used in your phrase "who isn't exactly like we are"?
Last time I checked you own a beige Cobra fitted with a faux-FE (428).  |

You guys way over analyze things. I was just curious what the breakdown on Club Cobra was, not some worldwide survey broken down by a thousand variables. And please there are way more worthy waste of server threads on here than mine.
If you don't like it stay the heck out of my thread.

I have had both and for my racing I used the small block as our road tracks don't really have enough long straights to utilize all of the power of the big block. And my lap times with the small block were as fast or faster than with the big block. But I went with the SB in the poll as that was what I chose to use.

It's too late for Buddy's poll, but if Evan does run another, then the next poll should be written as follows:
a) BBF
b) SBF
c) SBC
d) BBC
e) Australian (because, other than Australia, where can you got out for your morning run and spot an NOS dual quad FE intake in the bushes?) |

Do NOS dual quad FE intakes fit BBC's? |

All this poll is saying, at the time of this post, is that more BB owners have answered the poll.
