I mean shouldn't they have compared an 01 to an 01? b/c we all know that in 01 we started seeing the z06 heads on the f bodies. which in turn gave them more power. hmmm oh well. still stands that mustangs need power adders to beat a camaro at the track.
I doubt any reliable source wrote a V6 Camaro could beat a Cobra...

I do remember the 1999 Cobra had a big issue with the IRS breaking under power, alot of local guys replaced them with GT rear axles. SVT did some restructuring not too long after that.
