13k difference for 114 HP.

Lets throw a 7k ProCharger supercharger into that SS, and rerun the race. The Cam will have ~ 580 HP, for less $$ than the GT, and will blow its socks off. Toss on a new exhaust system for another 4k, and you're still ~2K under the GT500 in cost, with almost 100 HP more than the GT500.

Its all about relativity. Yeah, the original match up with the Mustang GT wasn't really far engine wise, but cost wise, it was an equal match up. Even out the cost differences between a super charged/decked out SS and a GT500, and we'd be looking at another from the 'Stang peoples.

Stock GT500 is $47K @ 540 hp @ 6000 rpm with a Forged block, upgraded suspension, upgraded clutched, upgraded tranny.upgraded brakes

Stock Camaro 2SS is $34k @ 426 @ 5900 rpm WITHOUT forged block, it appears a wonky manual tranny, IRS, Brembo brakes(complete with weights ??) and some more QC issues its seems.

Fixed that for ya

Haha I am kidding...just poking and getting in meh cheap shots on you guys before the rabbid GM guys get in here....But the forge part is true.
