Bob Bondurant has been to the London show several times. He loves driving a Cobra out of the Chicago area that has a turbo charged Buick V6 and auto tranny. He has made comments about it several times.

I was talking with Bob Bondurant and his wife and joked about the OCS using a Chevy truck to pull the raffle car. He looked puzzled for a second then laughed and said he didn't get into brand loyalty feuds. He said he would drive anything that was fast.

There was a link in another thread where 4 or 5 of Shelby's guys were being interviewed. One of them said that Ken Miles (pretty sure it was Ken) said the ultimate Cobra would have been the 427 body with the 289 engine.

I do think the people who built and raced the Legend are not nearly as purest minded as the people who own a replica and worship the Legend.

I appreciate both view points. I draw the line with people who want to pass a law to force everyone to see it their way.
