The public was actually not happy to find out they had a SCJ and not a W code. That better research ? We do agree on the Tigers. But I'll take a Griffo anyday.

The Belaire almost 1000 lbs more (3274 -210coupe) and even with an aftermarket V8 (502 Ram Jet- punched aluminum 427) bolted up to the 4L80E transmission, it would struggle to achieve the bhp and the torque of the Cobra.

@calimar28 ZZ502 crate engine. All told, the aluminum big block makes over 460 horsepower. thanks to a streetable 9.6:1 compression ratio. From the looks of it, the blower is a 471, not the famous Dyer 671. And a 471 blower only adds about 100-150 hp if the compression is 10:1 or higher. The specs on ProjectX were 502HP with 585 lbs of torque. Not the "1000 to 1500" you claim. So I ask you junior, how long you been building engines again ?

@harrylooker ProjectX was far from a period correct vehicle. It has been redone so many times that I lost count. The last time was 07' I think. However, nothing on the car is "Era Driven" and the 502 was dropped for a 427. The frame is not actually a real 1957 Frame. Basically, the car would not qualify as SS class, but the Cobra would. The electrodrive fans go way back and I actually used to use them in the early 70s, before the flex fans were perfected. Not sure of the actual history

A 283ci with a 671 on it is not the recipe to beat that Cobra 427. Power to weight. That 57 is a steel tank . Danza probably had a terrible time with the 4 speed & revving it out. I saw the white smoke. Ouch!!

@calimar28 Well being the expert you are (LOL) then you would clearly understand that a car "Jumping" has very little to do with horsepower, and everything to do with torque and the correct suspension set-up. A 200HP VW beetle can "Jump"

@jamesjdb Ford did in fact put the 428 in some Cobra's to cut cost. (Want the vins ?) . However, they were never marketed or sold as 428 cars. The Car used in the movie was in fact CSX 3285 which is a Holman Moody engine powered (Not original). It was the last known 428 car produced .The guy driving the car in the movie is in fact the owner Ernie Nagamatsu , who owns a Jewelry store in Chinatown. That's his son in the passenger seat. Anthing else ya wanna know ?

in reply to GetsumJ and calimar28 your both wrong and right. When one of you said you can put a blower on and do some tune ups to make 1000 horsepower you're right. But you were wrong about horsepower making the car bounce the suspension and torque does that, but it will bounce on it's own without stepping on the gas do to the suspension. Although I think the engine was 500 and something cubic inches. My 1993 Cadillac Sedan Deville bounces. It has 200hp only but 275 ft/lb of torque. When they lift the car up the tire/suspension gets pull down with gravity. Cars in the 2000's don't bounce anymore.

@calimar28 ­The typical boost provided by either a turbocharger or a supercharger is 6 to 8 pounds per square inch (psi). Since normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level, you can see that you are getting about 50-percent more air into the engine. Therefore, you would expect to get 50-percent more power. It's not perfectly efficient, though, so you might get a 30-percent to 40-percent improvement instead. Educate yourself son.

@jamesjdb The grifo on had the Cleveland in few cars. The collectables were the 427 and the 454 in 70 - 72. They also used 327s. Had many Fords dude, First car was a 1970 Cyclone GT, followed by a 67 GT500 W coded conversion. (Vin available). I just went back to Chevy's when Ford went south. Today, Chevy builds supercars just like they did in the past. Ford builds cars, and gets Shelby to make them supercars. No offense, but I have had better builds with Chevys

If you guys read Popular Hot Roding you would know Project X the 57 Chevy had a built L88 Corvette 427 in it. It had slicks and a 4 speed and 488 gears and a GMC 6:71 blower on it and was internally set up for the blower. On the strip they ran a low mix of Nitro in it. It was raced on the drag strip all the time. They were constantly trying to get lower ET's out of it.. Project X would of handed that 289 Cobra it's lunch. Sorry Ford guys but it's true, Project X at the time, had the best of every thing available in it.. Plus that Cobra was most likely a kit car, they've been around since the late 70's and probably had a stock 302 Windsor engine in it.

+Johnnyc drums no idiot GM = GM who like Dodge was LOANED money that was added to the BAIL OUT BILL since it needed congress vote to do. They paid back the loans with interest 7 years a head of time. So they never got "free" bail out money and the banks who did were sitting on a shit ton of US taxpayer backed first time buy loans. Only a complete idiot doesnt realize why they needed a bail out... if the banks went belly up then we owed 20x that amount in defaulted loans since they work like student loans where the Gov cosigns and bank holds and admins. If you die with a student loan then the bank goes to the gov for payoff.

Johnnyc drums lol yeah no one cares about the hellcat etc... ok... They are not "owned" by fiat and even if they were big deal... but they merged with a split option since Dodge itself has paid back loans... They have had the same deal with Merc before and others. But yeah who cares since they went from 12th to 7th in 2 years and expected to be back at 5 in next two years means nothing at all. Oh yeah since you got such a nut twisted thinking GM and Dodge got free money and yet they didn't but someone else did. Ford not only got Congress to bust a uion agreement on retired people and active also which screwed them nicely. Ford also took tax breaks fed/state/local to keep plants in place and not close etc. So they got free money and still are till 2020 in some cases. They did this knowing they would end up with more than both borrowed combined and since they dragged their leg it ended up on a different bill and that allowed them to make bs commercials saying GM and Dodge took free money till the point GM and Dodge were ready to sue. Ford didn't want that and their free tax info public. Man they really fucked the retires... I bet most drive GM now.... best part is I get employee pricing on all three brands and wow useless on ford since normal dealer sales give you better pricing. Almost as good as their number 1 sold truck bullshit when they count fleet and 80% off chassis for uhaul/rider/fleetwood and Chevy/Dodge just count trucks sold to people.
