Never seen a Mustang like that before.
Not really.
Well generally speaking you hear of a car having a 5.0 litre engine or a 2.4 litre engine. I'm just wondering why Viper chose to state his engine size like that. No need to belittle me.

No, they are...how to put it...forgotten. People hated the looks of them, the 4 cylinder ones were slow, slow turds, and the styling was a bit too much for most people. Did I mention they had really, REALLY bad 4 cylinders in them?? For most Mustang fans, 1974 to 1978 models were pushed out their memories.
But hey, it has got kitche value, right? And the Cobra II is a badass car.
What's the point in using cubic inches anyway? It's so much more confusing than just saying litres.

Wasn't the engine German too? Or was that the six they also put in it?Did I mention they had really, REALLY bad 4 cylinders in them??
That's true. Ford probably will never make an engine for a road car, as sinister and powerful compared with other makes of the time, as the 429 HEIM in the Boss 429.Because it's more exact. The Ford 427,428,and 429cid engines would be about the same liters, but they're all completely different engines.
Very nice Viper.

I actually love this body-type, it's quite nice. Sure, won't beat the 67/69 or 70 body-type, but still, not too many cars look that good.
According to google, 1 (cubic inch) = 16.387064 cubic centimeter.
I did make that out myself one time with a calculator, but I don't remember the way to do it, nor how many centimeters an inch is, isn't i 3,56?
How much power did those things have? Wasn't it about 220-250bhp?

It sounds bigger.8)What's the point in using cubic inches anyway? It's so much more confusing than just saying litres.
We use cc.
It's 2.54, that's a relief. That means my equations were not wrong. Phew.
Haven't had maths in two years, can never be sure.
That is totally correct.1 in = 2.54 cm
1 in? = 6.45 cm?
1 ci = 16.39 cm?
1 L = 1 dm? = 1 000 cm? (1 dm = 10 cm => 1 dm? = 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm)
Therefore 302 ci = 4 949 cm? = 4.9 L
Remember the old days at our cabin, looking at an AmCar-mag Mustang Special, and drooling over the Boss 429, using a calculator to find out that.
Those were the days.
