289 Shelby Cobra and Daytona Coupe at LeMans

[foolongtea]

289 is my very close second favorite to the chevy 327

[kirkconway]

It was simple, it worked, and it was TOTALLY RELAIBLE!!!!!!!!

[kirkconway]

good Ol ford 289 just roaring away,

However it's set up?

you just cant beat them.

The Daytona Coupe is without doubt my favourite muscle car, I hope one day to have a replica, I know it's not the same as having an original but they cost stupid money considering there was only a handful made.

Also I would love to have a Dodge Challenger in white with a 440 'Six Pack'.

[WeaselExplosion]

Amen to that! And why would you want an original, you couldn't drive it anywhere. You'd be too afraid to wreck your 10 million dollar car.

Theres nothing like driving a 289 cobra around the Musanne circuit at le mans,

Walter Mitty land,

@kirkconway Right Kirk ~ I must have done it a thousand times! Won the race, too! (Pocketa-Pocketa). The original 289 Cobra with 4 DCOE-45 downdraft Webers and good cam was rated @371bhp. With a single 4Bbl it had a power-to-weight ratio of 10:1, making it the first *PRODUCTION* car capable of 0-60 in 6 seconds. That set industry standards back in the day. I was in highschool AutoMech class and drooled over these cars when they 1st came out. Watched them race against GTO Ferrari and Vettes.

[submitaweasel]

Ford doesn't make engines like they used to...

[rpollard06]

No but you can still find them if you look hard enough, I have one in my Boat.

Check Oldschool427

[submitaweasel]

Cool

[WARfan1913]

Your right - they are alot better!

[theslashmetal]

v8 427 cubic inches. what a sound!!!!

[maison0blanche]

Thats probably a 289

[theslashmetal]

probably but for me it's a 3.5l or bigest so 289 cubic inches or 427 cubic inches it don't mean anything for me.i know that 427 mean more than 7l or 7000 cubic cm so if you say it's a 289 i say it's a good big american v8.:)

[RebelForce8]

[OddballSherman]

That sound is absolutely ORGASMIC!!!!

[MaximusMission]

MORE MORE MORE.

[maxmc89]
