A 68 427?? where? Is this a 'non' produced motor/car?


The boss9 was rated at 375, but everyone knows that was BS.

Yes...they were rated with no accessories.

That's why I love the K-codes...you couldn't get accessories..HA!

Michigan. What about you? What are you doing to your Z06? Obviously
a big cube motor if you're talking about running a 600+ Cobra while N/A.

no,just my little 346 and it only takes about 500+ to keep up with the 600+ Cobras because my car only weighs about 3000 lbs.I'm in NE Georgia but I've always wanted to come up to Michigan during the winter and go hunting.

Mine is around3,400lbs. Based on my experience, 500rwhp won't cut it
unless you think you can get traps in the mid 130's with it.
Racing in the winter is pointless here. Traction will never happen.

What part of GA you in? I was up in Warner Robbins for Thanksgiving and may be back up there for Christmas with my KB Cobra. If I am I will give you a shout and run them on those good GA roads.

I'm almost hittin' 120 mph now on stock motor but trappin' ain't the most important thing. Gettin' out of the hole is.I'm gonna have to learn to drive a little better when it gets done.I'm just a hair away from mid 11's right now on stock motor.All cars are different though.I'm interested in seeing how it responds out of the whole with that power.

I'm not gonna talk smack to unit cause it's stupid; he's in Michigan, but I WANT some of one of those Cobras. You guys love to pick on the N/A cars, let's see how how your power adder fares against another power adder. I haven't had the time to get the 12-bolt under the car yet, but I'd gladly roll from anywhere in 2nd or 3rd.

I haven't had mine on the dyno yet, but at 15.5psi you can be the

I NEVER claimed to have a 9 sec. cobra. To be honest, I don't know what the car will run since it needs a new clutch and DRs (Santa is coming). But like I said, he can take his pick of 5 mustangs...I have an 04 cobra, 92LX, 85GT and an 06 S281E. The E is scheduled to go to MI for some work next week, so it may be MIA until Feb/March.

It would be cool to run some of these Cobra's on this site. I have a 68 Camaro that will run with a S/C 600 RWHP Cobra N/a. The 68 running N/A totaly Kicks the *** of the 01 Camaro in my sig even with a 150 shot. But If I did run one of these Cobra's, I promis I wont spray.

I was only giving you Ford's reasoning/explenation as to why they code-named it that. I was not talking crap....common sense will tell you that.
