Naturally aspirated with 8 individual stacks and intake runners. The intake howl is something to behold. Mechanical throttle linkage - no drive-by-wire - so the throttle response is immediate, almost psychic.
And after about 45 minutes or so, you're ready to park it and put a bag of ice over your head.

I had a Factory Five Cobra with a 302 roller and side pipes, sweet as fuck but always needed an Advil after a cruise.
