[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 9922645, member: 19833"] Not sure I follow you here. Clearly a Cobra R and a 1LE optioned Camaro are two very different cars. You should know. Isn't the 2000 Cobra R the car you had to have a racing license to buy, had no radio, and was sold it very limited numbers? I can see a magazine making a caveat that the Cobra R is not a full street car if its competition is. I see no bias there. Not sure where you were going with the 03 Cobra and 03 Z06 either. They were two very different cars, at different price points, and the Z06 handed the Cobra its ass in everything but a straightline. I fully agree the SRT8 Challenger should be compared to the GT500 and it was in atleast one test I can remember. The Challenger RT should be compared to a Mustang GT. This comes down to price point and target market. Plain and simple, the Camaro SS should never have been compared to the SRT8 Challenger or GT500. The Camaro SS, Mustang GT, and Challenger RT are in the same price range with the same potential buyers. The fact that the Camaro SS could compete with and beat the much more epxensive SRT8 Challenger was impressive, but not the point of the car. As for the GT500, ask yourself this, why would a $32-35k car be compared to a $48-50k car? Especially when there is a $28-34k direct competitor in the Mustang GT to compare it to. More importantly, it is matching the GT500 in COST and potential buyers more closely. EXACTLY as it should be. I would love to hear the argument for why a $32-35k Camaro SS should be compared to the $50k GT500 and not the $30-35k Mustang GT..... :nonono: [/QUOTE]
