    2:32 for those who wants to skip Jimmer story time.
    You'll notice that I'm moving the wheel ALOT on this video. Part of that is down to how the car handles, but it's mainly due to having the incorrect FFB settings. Every little movement required a correction, with the end result being me looking like I'm doing fake driving from a 50's movie.

It has to do with desired power, torque, power range, etc. And yes both Ford and Chevy made a 427, I believe even Chrysler did. The 427 in the Cobra was extra special at the time because it was a SOHC (single overhead cam) vs a pushrod motor. And the only reason Ford designed the SOHC 427 was for Les Mans, which then changed the rules (no motors above 4.0l) because Ferrari complained.

      not really too impractical, it actually handles quite well for its time. Just handles like a straight boat that has a ton of power. You just have to be careful, long/straight braking lines, smooth apexes, throttle control, maybe a bit of purposeful oversteer every so often c; its a fun car.

    That's what I've found while driving it on Union Island. I little skid is good but go too far and you're dead. That and it's so overpowered. :) Fun running down Lambos and other super cars though :)
