Hi David
AT LAST - welcome, delighted you have decided to come out. I just LOVE it when I and many fellow Brits are proved right. Or sort of right.....naturally the 'visual impact' guys will never understand, but the visual impact of the small-block cars has to do with aesthetics (or 'class' if you prefer).
The big-blocks are the ultimate trailer queens and drag-strip monsters, although your DVD made the 427 look almost tempting, but for driving fun, gimme the 289's. I still cannot believe that any car with a huge lump of metal located that far ahead of the driver can offer the same thrills as a car that handles. I've yet to step out of any 427 without a sense of relief that its over and i'm still in one piece. Try driving both cars around the country roads from Hawk Cars base and you would never want to drive a 427 again...
I was drooling over Gerry the Hawks black 289 two days ago (a work of art) but I think that when finances permit that your FIA would be the one to go for, unless I get hauled down the MkIV Lightweight route first. I drove one of your FIAs long before it was finished and I still cant believe how fast and driveable - and comfortable - it was.
So that's you and Ned converted to the dark side - who's next?
