An ss/supercharged would be a good race vs a stock v6 camaro, but the ss/turbo(08+) is quite a bit quicker.
Except we were doing a heads up race and reaction time did matter. Reaction time may not matter to a lot of people, but it matters to me, when I talk to people at the track and we race, it's who ever crosses the line first wins. I can have a Bugatti and spin the wheels for an eighth mile and probably still have a better ET than a Civic but what if the Civic beat me to the line? Most people aren't going to say oh well I bet the Bugatti's ET was better, NO they will probably snicker about how a Civic just crossed the line first. Having a faster car is half the battle, being able to drive it is the other half.

However, with that being said if you want to compare what car is faster than yes ET is better, now like I said the Cobalt beat me a few times and I beat him a few times (talking about ET here). SO a moded V6 Camaro can keep up with and in some cases take a Cobalt, stock for stock the Cobalt SS is going to be faster.
