I agree with Doug. I love the 289 FIA body style and have since I saw them
race in the 60s. I personally never cared for the 427 Cobra body style from
an artistic viewpoint. I have close to 400hp with the Boss 302 in my ERA,
which pretty much replicates what the originals had for power, and it is quite
enough for the street. If I had a 427 then I would want similar power and
torque to the original 60s spec. engine. For me the idea is to replicate the
look and feel of an original Cobra. No matter how much $$ we throw at these
cars, they are still replicas. If we could have a pit lane with a variety of
real and replica Cobras, all with different engine specs, and the ability to drive
each one in sequence around a track, then we would know which we liked
best! Wouldn't that be fun. In the end, I think they would be variations on a
theme! I like the theme!
