An Accura would kick a Cobra's Asp

[Excaliber]

302 stock Cobra or fire breathin' big block Cobra, which one is "fast"?

BOTH of them, and yes I think they are "that fast". They were "back in the day" AND they are "NOW".

How so you say?

Just look at what there being compared to, TODAY, right now! A handful of the worlds fastest cars that in many cases FAR EXCEED the low $25K price of a STOCK 302 powered FFR.

That little STOCK FFR will run the 1/4 in the 13 second range. With a LITTLE bit of work, it will take on the MUCH HIGHER cost NSX (not to mention the Porsche)!

Let me "spend" as much on our example FFR as you would spend on the NSX, dollar for dollar. I think we have a race on our hands! Spend as much on the replica as the Turbo Porsche? Hell yeah, dollar for dollar I would not bet against Cobra.

Virtually EVERY "stock" motor Cobra I can think of will run a 13 second 1/4. How many stock cars from a dealership will run a 13 second 1/4 mile? What do THEY cost? IS there a NEW $25K car out there that WILL run 13 seconds? I don't think so!

Dollar for dollar YUP, the Cobra IS fast and WILL compete with the worlds best cars today!

The basic formula was a winner in the 60's and it's STILL the "holy grail" of racing today. Power to weight ratio, it's EVERYTHING when it comes to racing. THAT is where the replica Cobras (by and large) have the advantage over MOST manufactured cars today!

How ironic todays replicas are being compared to the worlds finest and quickest cars. The legend is alive and well, no fantasy, just fact!
