Cobham cobra,
I agree with you 100% especially as an ex CSX 427 owner. My AK may not be as fast, but it certainly is as enjoyable, maybe more so, to drive albiet for different reasons. Emmanueld is entitled to his extremely misplaced opinions...but that is all they are..opinions. I've had the good fortune to drive 289's, 427's 427 S/C's, ride in a real GT40,deive the Ford GT, Brooklands Ace, Brooklands Aceca and Superblowers as well as enjoy my AK. All great cars for different reasons. The AK's were a continuation and in many respects, except stock raw horse power, an improvementover a 427 street car, but yet are not all that different except in raw hp. One can argue the asthetics of the few boby changes, the widening of the f & r track, the dash boards etc. But the basis concept of the car is intact...slightly updated and in many respects better. Those knowlkedgeable realize the MKIV line is a continuation/evolution of a 427 appreciate them for what they are.. a modern Cobra. Emmanueld's Frua is no more than a 427 frame with a 428 and a new body..beautiful, rare and unappreciated by most. It too is a evolution of a 427 Cobra. Kirkhams are great cars, probably better than original AC's not better in quality vs the MKIV and Superblower. In short I agree, Emmanuald's opinions are his own ..why he chose to post them on an AK MK IV web site, leaves me woundering if we should chip in for an MRI. Jim AK1113
