Mislead them how? It's just a name for a race.The badge and whatever else offered on the car is just a gimmick to promote the race,it comes with tickets and a autograph,who cares. Ford has nothing to do with this,this is all Shelby. 427 is associated with high HP,but i gurantee nobody thinks of a LS7 when you think 427,for one,the Cobra will always own the image that the 427 number conjurs and second,nobody but GM people know that the LS7 is a 427,You guys will get your panties in a wad over anything.
The 427 Cobra isn't even the good one anyway,the 289 won all the championships.
