Exclamation Camaro Vs. 04 Cobra

I was reading about the Mustang Cobra's and couldn't help but noticed that it had 390 hp, 390 torque and could do a 1/4 mile in the 12 range.
So my question is, is there any stock Camaro that could even compete. Maybe the SS but I want diff opinions

======================================
No....

I have a buddy with an '04 Cobra, stock he ran a 12.14... He has added Basanni Exhaust, smaller supercharger pulley which almost doubled his boost, and a few other mods..... and is now hitting 11.60s...

Re: Camaro Vs. 04 Cobra

03-04 Cobras wont be touched by a camaro in the 1/4 stock for stock...ZL1's are awesome (commenting since they were mentioned). There is a guy in my hometown that bought two ZL1's when they were released. I have a pic i'll have to find of when he dyno'd his and it did pretty well there as well

I notice in the camaro forum there is alot of anti-stang comments that are repetative and idiotic for the most part. Not saying this thread is by anymeans just commenting because i've seen alot of it. I personally dont care if the stang "had to use a blower to be fast." It's damn fast and gets MUCH faster with little money in mods...Cant beat that IMO. I will someday own a mustang or two...it wont replace my camaro...But i will own one.

Eh I say just throw a Corvette at it, whatever a Camaro cant eat up, the Vette takes it on.

Edit- I think we're losing Will.

It has NO more power than the Z-28's. Hell, the Z-28 probably stands a better chance stock than the SS thanks to weight.
03/04 Cobras are something that stock LS1 cars get beat by. A lot.
Even more so when mods play a factor for both cars.

Let's put it this way....I would love to run a stock Cobra, and I would probably pull on one, but not by much. I have $3000 into my Trans Am.

Re: Camaro Vs. 04 Cobra

Exactly Mr Luos, that's what i was saying. No one is losing me I'll love my camaro till i die...I'm not so much a "camaro" fan as i am a fan of first gen camaros...There are probably a few Cobras out there that can hold their own against Vettes as well (stock for stock).

Stock for Stock.....
LS6 Z06 Corvettes are a touch faster. Not by much. Although add corners, and the Cobra is in the rear view.
LS2 Corvettes should also be a VERY close race with a 03/04 Cobra. Both in stock form.

Re: Camaro Vs. 04 Cobra

Yea, Cobras are decent in corners but tend to PUSH alot like most stangs...In a straight line, cobra does pretty well for itself and can hold it's own...Solid axle in cobra = badass times...
