Hey, I'm not knockin' the FE! Like I said, I have one and LOVE it. I've got almost 600HP and it would dust the L-89 Vette I had in a heart beat! BUT.....the L-88 was a MONSTER of an engine, and the ZL-1 was simply INSANE. I knew guys with Ford and Chevy 427's in their cars, and it wasn't often that the Ford guys beat on the Chevy's. Of course, none of them had Cobra's, though.

bmalone: You can't compare the 427 Cobra with the 427 Vette to determine which engine made more HP. That's like compairing a race between Fat Albert and Carl Lewis. Put 1000lbs in the trunk of the Cobra and see what happens.....or, put the L-88 in the COBRA and I'll bet it runs a better time slip than the FE!
