I have owned the 97 firebird, 99 camaro, and the 97 vette in the past. I can say that the mustang GT cannot compete with any of them. The Cobra that came out in 2003 can however out perform almost everything that GM has on the market. I have seen the 2004 Cobra run against the 2004 ZO6 and the Cobra did come out first. Could have been a bad driver in the vette, but a win is a win. The 2005 and up GT's are faster that the Z28's and run head to head with the SS. They are very close to the older C5 vette. Not much slower, a few mods and they are an even race. I am still wating to see what the new Shelby will do against the C6 ZO6. I have driven the new ZO6 and am very doubtful that the Shelby can out run it. As far as camaro and mustang competion goes, you need the newer Cobra to out run them.
