Not Ranked
I was at the track last weekend. Some serious racing going on, (except for me with NO car, waahhhhhh).
The Formula Ford guys were there, among others. One guy just bought a Hi-Tech Cobra with 427 SO. Now this guy IS a racer, understands the balance and handling and all the issues. He said flat out, there is NO WAY he will put the Hi-Tech on the track. To heavy, snow plow through the corners, etc. etc. But the BIG FACTOR? He figures it would hit about 160+ at the end of the straight, and thats just TO scary!!!! LOL
So why did he buy it? Heck thats easy, he always wanted a 427 SO Cobra, and now he's got one. The Formula Ford hits about 130 at the end of the straight and stops QUICK!
ME? I want a BUILT bad boy 302 or 351, I want about 400 horse. I want to look good, drive to the track and race my Cobra! I think 427 SO Cobras are the COOLEST thing in town. But I wouldn't want to race one,,,,,,,,
Value?
I'm looking to buy RIGHT NOW!!!! You got a Cobra at a WHOLESALE price, I will pay you in CASH within 24 hrs of making a deal. WHO built it and WHO supplied the kit is the FIRST question I will ask! Everything pivots on the manufacturer. Motor is secondary and adjust price accordingly. I'm looking for a certain "flash", "style". It's got to "look" good, regardless of the "parts" used.
Now, if I'm gonna buy it to "race only", ALL I care about is price, it don't even need paint!
