*putting on flame suit... a cammed ls1 will take a 03-04 cobra. its basically a drivers race then. Must Use Supercharger or Turbo Against N/a Gm. sad to say it but the camaro has beat the mustang every time. untill now. ford done something right. but still, how did we go from cobalt vs mustang to camaro vs mustang?
And it depends on the year for the camaro>mustang debate. Back in the foxbody 5.0 years the camaro couldnt touch the mustang.
And yes the supercharger/turbo thing is true......but since 1979 the camaro has always had a bigger motor. 302 vs 350, 4.6(281) vs LS1, 5.7(350), and still the new GT500's are only a 5.4.....
The LSX series of motors are an amazing design, and make gobs of power. The first comparable motor ford has made is the new 5.0.....remember we are still comparing a 5 liter engine to a 6.0 liter in the new camaro. I wish ford would make a 6 liter DOHC motor based on this new 5.0 technology......it would be insane!!
I'm not a mustang fan by any means but I am a realist ...... I really don't understand the mindset here that a tuned SS/TC will beat anything out there . In reality most tuned SS/TC's i've seen run mid 13's as an average ....yes there are some people in the 12's but they are usually running full bolt on's and drag radials or slicks . plus they are the exception's .... not the rule. A tune only SS/TC is NOT going to rule the streets like some here like to believe.
the new mustangs are going to be as fast as the older 2003-2004 Cobras, the Terminators. Are you telling me that it doesnt take much to beat 03-04 Cobras?
oh and one other thing....most 03-04 Cobras will destroy 99.99% of cars on this website in the 1/4 mile. Yet all I hear is 99.99% of cobalts on here will destroy and mustang....
Hope you realize doing the exact same thing to those cars as a GM stage 2 will net you mid to low 11's if the driver can halfway drive....

...i said it doesnt take an LSJ or an LNF to be making over 400hp+ on 20lbs+ of boost to beat them...it would take an boosted lsj making around from 350-370whp to take on a new 5.0 for Sure. seen it happen many times. obiously in the track at a 1/4 mile is a different story mainly cuz of the launchin but rollin race different outcome...and i think it takes alittle bit more time for u to get to know the cars that are on here before u assume that 99.99% of the cars here wont take a cobra or a 5.0stang...

OK. i admit new mustangs are pretty fast BUT, i never said it didnt take too much to beat both terminators and 5.0s...i said it doesnt take an LSJ or an LNF to be making over

1) C.A.F.E. standards (Corporate Average Fuel Economy);
Basically your gov't requires that manufacturers make more gas mizers than gas guzzlers.
If the manufacturers didn't play by these rules, they wouldn't be able to build & sell high powered v8 cars.
2) Secretaries (ect) who like the sporty looks and ride of pony cars, while not giving a hoot about performance.
that is just too funny!!

Go read the "Time Slip Bar" section of SVT Forums, they're FULL of true box stock 03 Cobra's that ran 13.1-13.5's when new.

No one here is saying Balt SS's are the end-all in performance cars. On the other hand, I don't call track prepped Cobras "stock" either. Because that's what it would take for one of them to run mid-12's.
