Overheating problems aside - and I'm sure that it must be possible to run a big block in traffic without them, it will always be the 289 for me. I have 'only' 270bhp at the wheels on my Hawk 289FIA but on a bendy road it handles very well. Took Trevor out a couple of days ago for a 'round the block' run - and he didn't look too frightened when he got out, in fact he may even have been smiling!
I have always regarded the 427 as a track car - frightnin'
