Sounds like they are equal so how is adding a supercharger to the Camaro's much larger engine making it equal? Do you understand the concept of stock?
It just baffles me everytime I see a statement like this. The Camaro has a 6.2 liter engine vs. a 4.6 liter engine and the Camaro makes as much horse power as the 2003 Cobra. It doesn't matter if one is supercharged or not because the Cobra comes from the factory with the supercharger and the Camaro does not. If you ad a blower to the Camaro SS then someone can add a Kenny Bell to the Cobra or a Whipple and the Cobra will win yet again.
If we want to compare naturally aspirated engines then lets compare the 2011 Mustang 5.0 vs. the 2011 Camaro SS and the Mustang comes out on top because it is slightly faster. However comparing the stock 2003 Cobra to a stock 2010 Camaro SS is a very close competition with the edge going to the Cobra because they are slightly faster stock for stock. If you want to compare mods then game over because mod for mod a Camaro SS will not be able to keep up with a 2003 Cobra because those suckers are notorious for being able to get insane amounts of horse power when modding. Lets also not forget that not only does the Cobra have the same amount of horse powers as the SS but it also weighs around 300 pounds less. Stock for Stock their is no doubt that a Cobra is faster. I've seen stock specs for a 2003 Cobra with 4.5 seconds to 60 and 12.6 quartermile times.

I do bet money that if you add a one of the biggest kenny bell chargers or whipple chargers plus the bolt ons vs. a 2010-2011 Camaro SS with a Supercharger that the Cobra is going to come out top. |
i agree. When i compare my Cobra vs. an N/A car i always get the "but we're N/A" excuse, but when i compare them to my big block n/a car, they say stupid shit like "yeah well youre engine is almost 9liters,if i had a 9liter i would...." or "yeah but i get 28mpg on the freeway"......theres always people making excuses.
