I am giving a lot of consideration to 3.27 gears. My old FE was pulling hard past 6500 RPMs but my bottom end couldn't handle the RPMs and spun a bearing. My speed at the time my engine laid down was around 160 mph and I was within a few feet of a cement wall. I don't think I will take it to that speed again unless I do some serious upgrades including a full cage. I love going fast and even faster but let's face it the protection (better yet "Lack of Protection") we have in these cars doesn't warrent super speedway speeds.

I love my Cobra but I love my family more and I would like to be around to teach my granddaughter to drive this piece of history.
