RE:14.9/Fairlane Cobra!?

Yes, that number isn't anything to brag about, more like a 390 Fairlane.
Unfortunately, Roger Huntington used that et and 95 trap speed in his book American Supercar, and figured based on those numbers the 428CJ put out about 310 net. He used a quote of 14.6@99 mph for the CJ Mustang, giving it a net rating of 320. Of course roadtests can be taken with a grain of salt, but those are the two SLOWEST I ever seen for either car. And he gave the 427 Cougar a 280 net rating. A GTX 440 that ran 14.6 was rated @330net.
However, its interesting that the cars that hit a ttrap speed of 100or more was up there in the 370-390 range. I would say your times and trap are a bit more representative of the breed
Interestingly, he said the 352/360 put out 270net, just 10 shy of the '68 427!
This thread, so far...
