Not Ranked
It isn't a comparison of CSX or Superformance, but preferance for 427 vs 289FIA style. Depends on what you like about cobras. To me personally the 289 IS the cobra - that's what was sold first to the public and that is THE team car that Shelby raced and won the World Mfg. Championship with. I first saw it when all of the car mags did write ups in '64 (the famous 'yellow' 260 that was painted a different color for each test drive). Personally, I belive it is the best looking cobra ever built, whether it's an FIA or a slab side. I had a Unique FIA, sold it, and have a new ERA FIA in the works. So it's what YOU prefer. FIA's are built by Shelby, Kirkham, ERA and Unique, and apparently FFR is planning one. There are more 427's definitely built by those that offer both. Probably a 3:1 margin.
