They have always looked meaner than the Mustangs. I especially like the '02 SS Camaro, best body style yet. The new Z/28 and ZL1's are downright menacing as well. I could never switch over though considering my loyalty to Ford, but I just wanted to let you guys know I have always respected late model Camaro's. They are badass cars and I love the pushrod engines. I remember when LS1's were top dog before the 03/04 Cobra came out. I bought my 03 Cobra brand new in December of '02. It now sits in the garage next to the GT500.

Anyways, g'day.
I wiped out two rod bearings and a main bearing losing to an '03 Cobra, in my GS455 clone. I didn't have the gears or the rpms and vintage Buick oiling is well, it's vintage Buick oiling. 600 bucks for a nice aftermarket timing cover and oil pump...anyway, that Cobra was a fast car.
