why are you even here, stalking? you are Cobra-less right?

Only owners of 427 Cobras with Ford motors should vote.

You have one agenda behind these polls, and it doesn't matter who replies first.

FWIW, I had a cobra, started with a sbf and ended up with an FE.

No agenda, I want to see what the numbers tell us, and will abide by whatever they say. You will note that it was olddog that thought this would be good criteria for the making of a poll, and where others have failed, I agree. My thread, this does not pertain to you and your hell bent promotion of BB, start your own thread if you want to go down that rat hole again, I certainly have no intention of doing so here. Either be civil and non confrontational or stop posting on this thread.

Take a step back and don't take it personal. My guess is boredom.

Fine, but I still disagree with the poll options.

Agree it could have been better worded, if I could edit the voting questions I would, change I wouldn't change a thing to will stay with the SBF or will stay with the BBF depending on how you are voting.

In all honesty I do think most participants will get it, in essence - having experience with one of 'em, would you keep it or change to the other.

Hopefully back to regular scheduled programming without further adieu.

It would be nice for those who have both (or two of the same) to vote twice, the bigger the population, the more refined the data. My suggestion would be if you have a favorite between the two - vote the favorite.

Most of the guys around here can't see worth a shi* anyway.

Nope, haven't opened it up on a prepped track. I made the mistake of making a low boost pass (only 10 lbs) at our local track and they banned me.

For now I'm content with hitting the winding country roads (I drove 200 miles today). Cheers.

What the poll is showing so far, looks like it may have just about run its' course.

Out of 45 Cobra 427 owners, 29 have SBFs and 16 have BBFs
  • 64.4% have SBFs
  • 35.6% have BBFs
Of that 29 with SBFs, 2 wish they had a BBF
Of that 16 with BBFs, 0 wish they had a SBF
  • Satisfaction with the SBF is 93%
  • Satisfaction with the BBF is 100%
I wouldn't have thought that the SBF would out number the BBF by a near 2 to 1 margin in the 427 Cobra but that is what the poll is showing (so far).

OK, what that really means is that 7% of the SBF owners are actually smarter than the other 93%.
