I'll tell you By Big Dave - 05/10/2006 11:28:50 PM; IP 209.33.49.0 The only engines worth competing are the 427, 429SCJ, LS6, and the Hemi. Just from that list. There are a couple of motors that would do better. The 427 would win du to one thing: power to weight ratio. Of the vehicles that those engine typically went into the 427 Cobra is by far the lightest. The LS6 is the most powerful at almost 500HP, but the Cobra was about half the weight (4000lbs to 2000lbs) of the LS6 Chevelle. The 429SCJ went into the Mustang, and the Hemi went into several Dodge/Plymouth creations. But the quickest of the bunch was the Cobra, laying down a mid ten second run of the quartermile. The next finisher was the LS6 Chevelle at about 11.2 or so. So, in their standard vehicles, the 427 would win.

This thread, so far...
