Mr. Real 1:
If you are a "shelby Cobra" expert then you should know this is common knowledge. I should hope that in 30+ years technology has improved. Why would there be any questioning that the "original" Cobra's and the Superformance Cobra's would drive differently? The cars are almost 100% totally different under the body. The body is different, the engine, transmission, seats, battery location, brakes, fan location, etc...
I never said the Shelby race car drivers said the 289 Cobra was faster than a 427 Cobra, I said they thought they were lucky to be alive after racing one. Shouldn't it only make sense that a driver driving a 289 Cobra in a race "on the edge" and a driver driving a 427 Cobra in a race "on the edge" would be worlds apart.
Quit taking everything so personal, I belong to a local Cobra club with all kinds of Cobra's. They are all great in there own way, period. We have several CSX4000 series Cobra's in the club (and some "originals") and they are a sight to behold. On a summer day the sun shines on the Aluminum body and the car itself send a certain kind of a rush that in my book only a "original" or "new" Shelby Cobra can have. The 500 horsepower 427 S.O. looks awesome in the engine bay and sounds even better. Those are all things my Superformance Cobra don't have, but if we pull out on the hiway they all know that my 110 Octane burning 650 horsepower 520 c.i. 5 speed car is going to kick the $hit out of them.
So what, they are all nice in there own way...
