I much prefer 427 ci !! The heritage! The size! The power! 7 liters sounds like a 6-pack of soda plus one to me...

The funny part is we have seen 350s that are actually 348 and other liberties with rounding and approximation... but according to my calculations 7 liters is almost exactly 427 cubic inches! What an opportunity!

I think what is being asked is how do you want the engine described: in cubic inches or in liters? Do you want described in classic american or in frenchy metric style?(let the flames begin...)

Man, having 427ci on the side of a Z06 would be much better looking than the 7.0 liter. It is an american car, and american revolution, so why use frenchy terms? 427ci all the way

If Dodge over uses HEMI why don't we use 427?

Default How about a poll?

Why don't you do this in the form of a opinion poll and then e-mail the results to Dave Hill. Maybe, just maybe, he might take us serious enough to put 427 on the side of the car.

I think if the poll was long enough with votes, then possibly he may pay attention.

Can't hurt.

If he doesn't do it the aftermarket sure will.

If the HP is 500.... I would MUCH rather see 500HP on the side than 427... Makes much more of a statement IMHO

I think it should have a "7.0" like the old mustangs that had "5.0" badged on the side....

Not.
