thanks for the roll bar info.

regarding the observations, based on what you've said so far, there really isn't much different between the 427 and FIA, mostly the choice of engine.

what does your new FIA have in it?

393 CID Ford (stroked Sportsman 351W)
TKO 5 spd
ERA rear (outboard brakes)
Willwood comp brakes
6 PIN knockoffs
oil cooler
front and rear sway bars
leather street interior
comp dash
This car is nicely equipped with pretty much every option except the all weather equipment.

I've had a few ERA 427 cars and this is my first ERA FIA. All the ERA cars are very similar, when properly assembled, maintained and fully sorted. They are all thrilling to drive and tickle all your senses, which is why I love these cars. Any car can go "fast" these days. Cobras like these are fun to drive at any speed and don't require one to go crazy fast to get the awesome cobra experience.
