The 427 Cobra as awesome as it is and as much as we love it didn't do much in racing. The 289 was the big acheiver there. The project was almost knackered as it came out of the stable just with the timing and overlap with other projects. The race and street cars were too expensive, they couldn't get parts like wheels, they had to dream up the fastest street legal road car gimmick to get them off cinder blocks and moving in the market. If I was him I wouldn't want to talk about the 427 much, talk about hindsight being 20/20.
