stock vs stock..
So because the Camaro is more expensive than a Mustang GT by a few thousand, you bump it up and compare it to a $10,000 more upgraded version of the Mustang GT??? Apples to apples and the Camaro SS competes against the Ford Mustang GT and the Challenger RT in price and power..Throw in the Missan 350z and the Genesis coupe and you have some more closely priced sports cars in the mix..It is like comparing a GT500 to a V10 Dodge Viper on the drag strip..
Dodge Viper fourth generation 2008 base model..
* 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h): 3.5 sec [11]
* 0–100 mph (0–160 km/h): 7.6 sec [11]
* quarter mile: 11.6 sec @ 126 mph (203 km/h) [11]
* top speed: 220 mph (350 km/h)
* slalom: 74.2 mph (119 km/h)+
* skidpad average acceleration: 1.06 g (10.4 m/sē)
* 100–0 mph (160–0 km/h): 270 ft (82 m)
The stock GT500 gets creamed doesn't it?
Even the GT500KR gets beat.. * 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h): 3.9-4.3
* 1/4 mile: 11.92s @ 120 mph (11.58 @ 122 mph (196 km/h) on drag radials)
So you need to get it modded and add this super snake package to get closer and even then it still can't beat the stock viper..
Shelby GT500 "Super Snake"
Starting in 2008, previous 2007 Shelby GT500 Mustangs could be sent to Carroll Shelby's Special Performance Plant in Las Vegas to be rebuilt into a Super Snake, which resembles the 1968 GT500KR, for an additional cost of $27,995. The Super Snake will offer a 605 hp 5.4LEaton roots type supercharged version with warranty. A Kenne Bell twin-screw supercharged version with "over 725 hp" will also be available, without warranty and a 0-60 time of under 4 seconds.[1][2] The Super Snake is inspired by the 1967 GT500 Super Snake, a car made by Carroll Shelby for Goodyear Tires.

All in all it is fair to compare cars that cost roughly the same price. The SS and GT are very close in price so it is fair to compare them.. Once you get to $10,000 or more in price, it simply isn't a fair comparison.
