588R big block

What I find hilarious is how much stake people have in what others choose to do with their own lives or Cobra replicas. Its almost as if their sense of self is built on such a fragile foundation that anything presented outside of a narrow scope of beliefs and behaviours robs them of all validation and threatens them to the core. If you treasure FE's fine - buy one or three or five; but why even care when other folks talk about their different strokes?

When I was trying to scrape together enough dough to buy a CCX in the early 1980's I fully intended on putting a Chevy small block in there. Nowadays, a 385 series is just as appropriate, or inappropriate, as a SOHC. In fact, I saw a 385 last summer that was easily faster, prettier, and more expensive than my FE. In the end, it's all just a game.

Why would we care what you think? You have a non-427, beige Cobra with two roll bars. Geez, you might as well drive around a Nissan Leaf.

And I own a FIBERGLASS CSX!
Does that make me an outcast too?

I've noticed of late that RodKnock has been particularly contrary. I'm thinking he's going through a stressful mid-life crisis of some sort.

This IS the "World's Largest non-biased Cobra site." We welcome all manufacturers and body types.

(unless you own a Cobra with a 385 series engine or it's painted beige)
