said he built the Super Snake
- with twin superchargers on a 427 cubic inch V-8 -

How in the hell do you put 2 Superchargers on ONE intake manifold...if
you cant show me a picture of an actual OPERATING engine.......this is
bull****.

Oh, and 800 HP....LMAO!!!!.....you guys believe EVERYTHING you read? If
so, I got a bridge for you to buy. Shelby probably got a wrinkled
hard-on dreaming that up.
Most of these HP claims you read in mags are under perfect conditions
on a dyno....wouldnt be the same on the street. Everyone thinks these
quotes are gospel.They arent.
The problem with the Ford 427 side-oilers was their unusual cam and
timing chain set up. Connie Kalitta campaigned one in the Bounty Hunter
F/E Dragster, but gave up on it.The rail is on loan in Big Daddys
Museum in Ocala Fla.

1966 Shelby Cobra Sells for $5.5 Million

Yeah - that's quite a price even for a collector.

I wasn't much into Shelby's - I've never been a Mustang fan.

I'm more of a Corvette guy.

Cobra's ate Vette's for lunch.

You wish.

You're right, Tom. Vettes were barely an appetizer for a 427 Cobra.
In their day they killed *everything*.

Because the weighed about 1200# less than a corvette was allowed to weight
for racing. Duntov designed and built the Grandsports, but never made the
street as GM was getting government pressure about the racing aspects. The
GS's killed the Cobra. But not allowing Duntov to make and sell enough for
street use, they were never homologated for production racing.
