Well let's be objective and compare my 'driver' 460 to a new Shelby 427.
mine.... Shelby
460 .... 427
8.8:1.... 11:1 compression
regular gas.... premium gas
fibberglass.... aluminum body
2,760 lbs.... 2,400 lbs
11.92 ET.... 11.9 ET
home built .... built with lots of engineers
100% fun .... 50% fun , 50% snob
cost $ xx.... cost $ xx + 80k
So my iron smogger '77 Lincoln 460 that weighs 400 lbs more than a new csx 4000 and has 100 HP less than the FE is just as fast..........Hmmmm , maybe the old 385 series engine is better in the REAL world.
