"It is an irony that the 289 won most of the Cobra's battles but the 427 is the car everyone wants to read about. Kind of like Hollywood making a movie and every reviewer ignores the star and instead lavishes praise on some supporting actor who stole the picture..."
And it is exactly that assinine view (without any disrespect intended upon the little brothers) that flat pisses off those of us who are interested in having the elitest attitude corrected about the later models which have a racing history in America all their own...Dick Smith, etc. As noted, we would love to supplement our bookshelf with some materials on 427s, but generally make due with the last chapter of books dedicated to 289s and a half dozen Daytonas.
JMHO of course.
