They still compared the 2002 camaro and the 2001 cobra.
which is still a year newer car. so when you compare the 2003 SVT with 2002 camaro the Cobra is faster.but since the Terminator was originally meant to be put out for 2002 it still is faster out of the factory. But the name Terminator suggested to much violence they called it the Cobra special and put it out a little later. Which still proves my point.
In the end the cobra was faster!!!!!!!!!!
