"Back in the day" of the Can Am cars, it was easier to get the horsepower out of the BB, than trying to get it out of the SB. Remember in Can Am it was all about top end and handling, hence the all aluminum ZL1, which dominated the series until Porshe showed up with the turbo charged 917. I saw one of the races with the Chevy powered Mclarens and the Porshe. The Porshe had some mechanical problems and the Mclarens had lapped it 3 times while it was in the pits. The Porshe came back out and reclaimed 2 of those laps before the end of the race. It was amazing to watch. I remember seeing the Porshe come down the back straight. It looked like you were watching a movie that had been sped up!

A decent 427 - not the worst, not the best, will go from zero to 100 mph and back down again to zero in less than 14 seconds. All thing considered, you can put together a pretty good argument that the 427 Cobra is the ultimate performance car, judged on any basis you want to name."
