Hi Clay
Yes I expected to be picked up on that point, but I based the comment from the opinions of the majority of 427 owners and ex-owners I have talked to. I realise that the engine was pushed as far back as possible, at the expense of space in the footwell, and I expect that the weight issue depends a great deal on exactly what engine you run - however, most owners seem more comfortable with the handling of 289s and are happy to abandon the delights of the big-blocks. Or maybe its just psychological...? But those 427s are not easy to drive on many roads in the UK as they tramline over the bumps and painted lines - a steady right foot and constant attention is desirable!!
Hi Stu
Of course I was smiling after our little trip - cound'nt you tell?? Never known to refuse a blat in any Cobra. Mind you, losing my phone into the darker recesses of the footwell was a bit of a pain. So I now have 2 phones and several missed messages. Never mind. We'll have to do it again when the sun shines....
