I have a feeling that the FFR would win over a 45 year old 427 Comp Car.

George
I don't know about that, I have been in your car with Jack. Driven Jim's car and its a bunch different.
Comp427SO dry sump versus stock 428 is big difference.
Hey, did you get my email the other night?

New vs. Old
That 428 was pretty sad when you consider that stock 427 street cars would run 118 in the low 12's on the stock blue dots. I would have been a lot more impressed if the old car had new tires and a decent running 428. The outcome would probably be the same but it certainly did not represent the car's capability when produced. Maybe they could have put those old rock hard 15's on the F5 to see how well it did in all the events with crappy tires.

Funny at our club breakfast we thought your car would also be a test...... Different outcome for sure.
Jim's car is a part of history and he is a great sport however up against a FFR with similar tires and stock brakes the gap would have been narrower.
All in all still fun to watch the show.
