CSX vs. SPF? 427FE vs. 460?

[misfit41]

this whole thing looks grade school silly to me,,but I cant resist,,
an spf is a wonderful car,,well engineered and modern,that dosent make it betetr ,,just different,,I mean if we went by all this,,we would all drive c5 vettes for less money and hell with cobras,shelby cars are over powered,hard to drive and ride like hell,,thats why i want one,,who needs a boulevard ride any way,,it isnt a commuter car,,
460 is a good ,strong torque motor,,and they are CHEAP horsepower,,thats why they are popular,,351 's are the same,I have no doubts a 351 stroker spf will out 1/4 mile,and out handle a 427,but any one who has ever had experience with serious 427's never gets over them,,they are very special and in a class by itself,the statement that a 427 is 1/10th the motor is ludicris,most motor builders have never seen a 427,,much less driven one,99% think it is a bored 390,,or less than a 428, I looked at the shell valley show car at nashville 5/26,,it had a 460 crate motor,,it sounded terrible,,like a stock 351,who wants that in a cobra ?I urge everyone to get all the old info they can,,the 427 was legendary,and demised partly because politics put it out of competition,and partly because of high cost to build the parts,dont forget,,a 427 stock most likely had 450 or more hp,,what do you have to do to a 351 to get there ? try driving a stroked shelby block 427 with maybe 700 hp on pump gas to make it a fair comparison ,all things equal,,
I hate to think of what a dot approved new ford cobra would be like,,hopefully better then the ugly series 1,but I will keep my hot rod,,everyone has a tame and polite car,,give me the seat of my pants and white knuckles,,
I mean,,a nice tag or seiko may be keep better time,,and sell for 1/20th the price,,but it still isnt a Rolex,,you have to experience to really appreciate the difference,427's are the same,
why cant we all just get along ?no more prejidice,,hahah,Tk
