Deduct for aluminum heads and intakes on both if attempting an apples to apples comparison.

with an aluminum block even better. I replaced my Roush iron block 351/427 with a Pond Aluminum FE block, alum. heads, intake, manifold and water pump with a 15 lb alum fly wheel. The things cracks just like a small block when you snap the throttle. Have to readjust the front ride height as the front end not sits higher with the lighter engine.

Cobra's are what they are, pure brute force and an exhilarating driving experience. They are a race car pure and simple. If you are looking for luxury and state of the art electronics, go look elsewhere. If you are looking for a car that gets attention from just about anyone that sees or hears it, this is the car. The only vehicle that I have ever owned that has had hundreds of pictures taken of it by people just walking by.

They can also scare the sh*t out of you in a hurry if you are not careful. Maybe that is one reason some people get rid of them with low mileage, got their foot into it thinking that they were driving something else and had to throw out their underwear when they returned home.
