Comparing cars with drastically different pricepoints can be interesting from a trivia perspective but that's all it is. By this logic the Cobra should be compared with a Ferrari 612 or Nissan GT-R but that's just silly despite the chance to poke fun at Nissan's self destruct button. If those cars don't outclass the Cobra at their pricepoints they are flat out failures, fortunately for those manufacturers only the most die-hard Mustang fan would choose the Cobra in that mix if they were all the same price.
Most car comparisons are from the perspective of a potential buyer and not out in fanboy fantasyland though. Such comparisons must take into account that people are working to get the most car they can for their budget. If your budget is big enough to fit in a Cobra then sure you might compare it to a Camaro SS but if factory performance is your goal the Cobra clearly provides that higher performance with it's higher cost. That's not much for Ford or it's fans to brag about though, it's simply Ford providing what is needed for the Cobra to have a place in the market. If it wasn't significantly faster than muscle cars that were much cheaper it would become a very low volume, mostly pointless waste of time and money. While this is a niche that Dodge seems to have a habit of flirting with via their SRT line but Ford and GM seem to work to avoid aside from the occasional experiment (examples: Ford GT, Chevy SSR, etc).
Personally I think you already understood everything I just typed and are just being a stubborn fanboy but if you really didn't understand I hope that helped you out.
