Not Ranked
I never said one Cobra was better than another. Any Cobra that is made by any company with a 485 - 500 horsepower 4 speed 427 S.O. engine in it is going to run around the 12.0 - 13.0 second 1/4 mile times (best passes).
Mr Mike:" Who are you to say that every ERA cobra is a 12 second car?? I think that that is an ignorant comment."
I must be ignorant, because I have seen several drag races with ERA, Superformance, Midstates, CSX4000, etc... 427 S.O. 500 horsepower engined Cobra's running in the mid to low 12 seconds in the 1/4 mile with street tires. ALL of the cars with the 427 S.O. engine ran close to the same times.
It only makes sense that a ERA, Superformance, Midstates, CSX4000, etc... Cobra with a 600 horsepower engine (427/460/408 "stroker", etc...) would be running in the high 11's (best passes).
By everyone's own admission, most ERA Cobra's stand true to the 4 speed 427 S.O. engine putting out around 485 - 500 horsepower. I have simply said there are alot of Superformance Cobra's running 514+ c.i. engines with over 600 horsepower.
Is the 427 S.O. engine not the "original" style Cobra engine?
Is the 514 c.i. Ford Crate engine not a "modern" racing engine?
What's the big deal?
