Default Which would win?

In a comparison b/t a CSX with an FE and an SPF with a 460, both would lose to a much vehicle with much lesser cubes.

Did anyone see the June issue of Mustangs & Fords. They did an article of the 25 fastests Fords of all time. Number one on the list was the 70 Boss 429 (12.3 @ 112) and number two on the list was a 62 Shelby Cobra with a 260 (not even a 289)- it ran the 1/4 in 12.9 @ 114. Next on the list was a 66 Cobra 427 13.2 @110.

I guess there is something to be said for being able to put the power to the ground.
