Scott,
351 (.030) over. Indeed!!!
Once again, this is not meant to be a tuning exercise.
But a comparison of STANDARD cars. AS ADVERTISED.
I understand your points. They are well taken, but my point is that people look at things like the RUN & GUN results and make comparisons of the cars offered by various manufacturers as if these are the same vehicles they buy as standard issue.
In other words NO RINGERS OR SPECIAL BITS OR 600 HP MOTORS.
Chucks JBL is actually just like the specification that I have proposed. It is absolutely bone stock. Crate 351, etc. (The gearbox is not the TKO, it is a standard t-5 with the .65 5th gear.3.55 rear ratio.) There are NO modifications to his car from the standard as delivered JBL. Plus his car has 35k on it and is driven on the street all of the time. (He even delivers parts to customers in it.)
Maybe you should drive the cars. You have quite a bit of experience now and you do not claim to be a race driver. But rather you are an enthusiast driver just like 99.9% of the rest of the Cobra folks.
I think that you would give a fair comparison of the various cars and would probably have a bit of fun as well.
