[REAL 1]

I think its important to point out that the "deathtrap" tag Bandit 1 puts on the original Cobra has nothing to do with chasis design of the 427. The 427 Chasis design was a good design and the first 4 corner coil over chasis made in production! The dangerousness of the Cobra, as I understand (I don't profess to be a racer but read enough to know something) comes from its short wheel base.

I am confident that a properly set up CSX will handle with and possibly out handle a similarly set up SPF or any other.

Cobras and thier replicas are still relatively dangerous cars by virtue of their tremendous Hp matched with a relatively short wheel base.

Whether 427 or 289 you always had to know what you were doing to drive aggressively or race the car. Those that didn't respect the cars or know what they were doing many times had their lives cut short by the snake.
