I came across one of these while cruising in the DSM the other night...it was not nearly as fast as I thought it would be. Guessing it did NOT have a 427...

Alpha 9 would be my pick right now.

99% of the ones you see are just 5.0 kit cars. Terribly slow.

You'll likely never see a real 427 Cobra on the road, pretty much 100% collectors cars now in the 700k+ range.

Plenty of those kit cars have 427s in them. Just that most of the owners are old guys that cruise them like I want to. Something about 2 seats, no roof, Steering wheel, gear shift, and go, brake, shift pedals and that's it. Looks fun on weekends. I'd like a coyote in one with forced induction. I have to think 500whp in one of those is quite scary.

If I had to choose one, and I couldn't sell it to buy others, and I had to live with it...

Aston Martin Vanquish. Best all-arounder exotic, IMO. And drop-dead gorgeous.

 

If I could have cars for toys, or multiples, then a Caterham 500R, Ferrari 45 Speciale, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Pagani Zonda Cinque, etc. But of them all I think Aston delivers the most complete package in what I want from a single car.

I'm aware they exist, just never seen many out and about,if they are, they are parked being waxed at a car show. LOL

I belive there's a whole section on F5's forums for discussions on installing the Coyote engine in the roadster.

Even a basic bolt on, pushrod 5.0 can make near 300rwhp, and the car weighs around 2000lbs if I recall. Plenty to take out most average 'takers' you'd come across

I would say that is probably the case, but He got the jump as I didn't know he was trying to haul @$$, (I was behind him at a light, and light turned green and he slammed it, so I followed suit), and I was catching up to him way quick than I thought I should have. Yes, he was WOT. Had we been side by side from the get go, he would have jumped ahead and I would have passed him by 100mph. Had I been at 30psi, it obviously would have been even quicker.

 

I'm not saying the car was slow...just not as fast as I had expected.

 

fixed

 

I don't know I would want a 16 to drive all the time. Might be too much, and a 9 would slay 95% of whatever comes my way anyway.
