Camaro Vs. 04 Cobra - Page 6

Rally Sport · 06-03-2005, 11:33 AM

Well I think it's always been Camaro vs. Mustang in the V6 and then Z28 Vs GT with the 8s. The other higher options like SS and Mach 1 or whatever dont really count because they go way higher in what they do with stuff. So for me Ford is always eating Chevy's dust.

LOL Cobras overpriced? I was looking at 03-04 cobras stickered in the low 30s...What were SS's and WS6's stickered at? Saying the rousch is better competition? Those things are WAY overpriced. Yes i do believe that the 03-04 cobra will own a M3 of the same year in a straight line. They're fast but not as fast as the Cobras.

This whole thread reads to me like a bunch of whiners crying about loosing the camaro and making up for it by putting down the car that's still selling...Yet another reason why i consider myself a first gen guy more than a camaro guy...

lol will you are a camaro guy no matter what gen you have.

Seems to me that the main criteria to being a "camaro" guy is to hate mustangs...Which i do not. I like pretty much all mustangs. One of my favorite cars is an old mustang and one of my favorite new cars is a mustang.

just wait for the 06 Z06 and run 11's off the showroom floor, and you will have no problems smoking even some moded 03/04 cobras

didnt know they were only priced in the low 30's i was thinking more of 35-39 grand, but i did consider them affordable to the adverage joe, as for the ss and ws6 thats why i didnt have neither of them they were high 20's low 30's themselves, but u also have to look at what kind of power u were getting out of those cars at that time. never the less i couldnt afford them then and i still cant, so ill take my 4 grand car and make it into a better car than them both and doing so i wont even spend half of what either car cost. cant knock ford because they are still selling cars and we arent, but till i die ill stick with the facts, they are playing a came of catch-up

will69camaro · 06-03-2005, 01:55 PM

yep an 06 Z06 will smoke a 03-04 cobra...But will it smoke the new GT500 in a straight line (corners i KNOW it will). The GT500 will cost less and run similar stock times and have the ability to be modded MUCH easier. Chevy was having problems getting the Z06 up to 500hp. I agree to an extent that ford is "playing catch up" but in their defense i think ford is producing an affordable fun car that the market will be willing to pay for.

I like Mustangs and have a Camaro....
I have to disagree with the same year Cobra/ M3
those Germans know how to make cars....lol
The point I want to make is Mustang has too many models out, V6, GT, Mach1, Roush, Saleen, Cobra. No wonder they sell more cars than Camaro. It's ridiculas, I probably still didnt name them all.....

will69camaro · 06-03-2005, 02:10 PM

Ford doesn't produce the saleens and roushs. Ford offers V6, GT, Mach 1, and Cobra. 4 models which hit the market right where they need to. Disagree all you want with the M3 comment but i've seen M3's in action in a straight line and they're good but not great. I'd say the better race would be an SS v. a M3...

see thats what i try to explain to folks, the market is a fun sporty car that performse, both cars fit the bill, one is slighty faster than the other, one is way better priced than the other, has many options to pick from and the key, are still making them, people want new cars not used and right now ford is filling that bill. the gto its ok, 2 of my friends have one i still say grand prix on drugs....all those pontiac cars look just adamn like! not for me, but they are impressive indeed. as much as i go against ford they arent the real problem. its imports, they are killing everyone. they have great power, and are usualy cheap, and when tuned can kill all demestic cars. being a old tuner i hate to say, but i smoked more camaro z's and mustangs in my old gst eclipse. ill look real hard for my old pics but ill tell u what, it had over 300hp and that was in the mid 90's. i was laying the smack down in va beach on alot of fools. the game is about who can make the cheaper car and still perform, ford and the fart cans are doing it, meanwhile we have the 210hp cobolt. makes u wounder...

About the M3 You have your opinion, I have mine. and enough said about that
Whatever about the saleens and roushes, their still a Mustang whether its covered in Saleen decals or not

Whats DSM?

will69camaro · 06-03-2005, 02:19 PM

His GST is a DSM, it's the turbo usually AWD cars from mitsu (It's Diamond Star Motors). I know we both have our opinions on the M3. If you read my first response i'd say i'd rather have a M3, but M3's are in the mid 13s stock...Cobra is faster than that. That's not opinion, that's facts.

bag91 · 06-03-2005, 02:21 PM

You still have your opinion, because no average joe is going to run that Cobra in the 12 range
