Beautiful car! In your ebay ad, you quote the performance figures from a performance calculator. Is there a website for that? Thanks, and that is one nice car!
------------------------------
"The 427 Cobra is easily the highest performance car ever sold for street use. A decent 427 - not the worst, not the best, will go from zero to 100 mph and back down again to zero in less than 14 seconds. All thing considered, you can put together a pretty good argument that the 427 Cobra is the ultimate performance car, judged on any basis you want to name."

If this car actually runs in the 9's, then I'll buy TWO. It really is a beautifully done Kirkham, but quoting an unrealistic performance figure takes some of the gloss off what is otherwise an exceptional build.

I am quoting numbers given to me via web calculators, which is clear in the description. When someone has enough interest in asking me about the numbers, I explain to them that those are mathematical calculations based on power and weight, but in the real world, the traction would not be there for that kind of performance. However, Keith Craft ran 10's at the Run and Gun in a Kirkham with a similar 527 and spun all the way down the quarter mile.

High 10's at 130+ and a 9.1 at close to 150 are two different numbers, that's all I'm really saying. The car is too nice to hype it with an unrealistic value. Too bad you fell $2K short of a sale. You should definitely hold out for the right buyer at the price you have established. If someone is willing to bid $88K, they will pay $90K for the right car. Especially when you consider the quality of the components you have installed. Good luck.

That's what I thought too, but it did not work out that way. On the performance numbers, I quoted the numbers given to me by the web calculator, I don't see why you have such a problem with that. I didn't make anything up. I think the car can do it, given the traction. But I know it won't have the traction, so what?? What else, could I do, make up a number that you think is right? Race the car to get a number? I did what I could and clearly stated where the numbers came from. Sorry it offended you.

Well the problem with Cars, people and numbers is some want to beleive them and others simply want to deny the possibility of them. We all know that a smokn' Shelby Cobra is a very! very! bad (meaning good ) machine any way you look at it. Power to weight ratio with a Big block 460ci putting out 550hp with 560ft/lb of torque is a real bad machine. Get it rolling a bit then get on it. Shift up then get on it. You will be surprised how fast you run up to 100. The next thing you should be concerned with is stopping. That is where the original Cobras of the 60's had some difficulties, along with some handling characteristics in the turns. Any way you look it and I mean a Superformance produced Cobra made on a rolling chasis fitted properly with brand new truely indipendent suspension components, a performance built motor,Tremec 5 speed, Dana limited slip diferential with Olthoof racing sway bar will surprise the heck out of many Cobra and non Cobra folks. I was one of them non beleivers. My wife and I now own a 65 Shelby Cobra #593 by Superfromance purchased with 2700 original miles and it is completely sorted out and wants go out there and prove itself. I have looked for this car for over 30 years now and finally it is with my wife and I and just think we are still married!! Hawk; just joined the club!!
