[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I came up short.....

[Sir Tigger KC]

Oh you're so bleddy tight!                                                                 

[Raeturbo]

Did you get into seven figures 

[Rangie]

Stunning car, bet it sounds lovely in the flesh.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Did you get into seven figures 

Not even if I count the decimal point and pennies.

I also like the colour, although I think a 427 Cobra looks best when finished in Satanic black.

While the 427 is "the" one to have they do say the smaller engined[289?]version is the better car to drive.

I think this is due to the weight of the 7 litre lump of Detroit at the front, Mr Baza.

Sadly, nobody has offered me a drive in either variant.

[BazaJT]

No me neither! Cobra comes into the category of "I wouldn't mind a go in one,but I wouldn't buy one"

You 'wouldn't' buy one.
I 'couldn't' buy one.

Your wealth is impressive, Mr Baza.

The 289 is much better looking.

The 289 is a bit effete and girly compared to the 'pumped up' 427.

The 289 is an AC Ace.

289 makes the Ace look effete.


The 427 is standard racecar mods; do whatever it takes to get the bits working, and file the edges for production. The whole car looks like an incompetent cartoonists rendition

I think the original Cobra from 1962 came with a  260 cubic inch V8.....4.2 litre. This latter became the 289 with a 4.7 litre V8.

The 427 does look like something from a cartoon. This is part of the appeal.
