Well 03YellowPony,

The G92 IROC-Z could pull .89 on the skid pad and the 00-02 SLP/Bilstein optioned Camaro SS's pulled .90 on the skid pad. My Cobalt SS pulls .89 on the skid pad.

So you be the judge...........

 

Take you and your Cobalt home...

 

Ford uses there engineers where as GM does not in my opinion. GM cars until very recently all, yes all, use a 350 (vans, lux cars trucks, vettes, camaros,TAs). Ford makes great power out of smaller engines, which helps gas milage, and overall cost of the product. If you remember the 2000 cobra R had 385 hp which is much more than the all GM cars of that time but the Z06, and this was still out of a smaller engine. Like someone said earlier in the post ford also considers the aftermarket parts craze when they produce new cars. Ford makes the GT model for people who want power (and a damn good looking car) but do go race on the weekend, but they also know with a few mods that the GT is capable of beating a LS1 TA or camaro.

 

true the WS6 dose look more agressive. if i didn't love mustangs and i went to a GM car i think the TA's look the best out of the 3 of them.

And also i was wondering why Chevy made the Camaro, Ponitac made the TA, AND the Firebird. why did ponitac make 2 of the same cars? or is there a diffrence other then looks. whick one costs more? is there better suspenison, or is it all for looks?

 

Ford/Motorcraft/SVT have GM beat for one reason. . .

Okay I like the engine mods but that damn body kit makes it look like a buck toof wabbit! It may kick some serious **** but i'd feel like a tool if I wasn't racing it.

 

That car only ran a 12.7 1/4 mile? and it has 590 hp? Hmm.... Codes N/A GT ran 12.6... Either that driver was drunk when he raced or hes just a horrible driver.

 

i think that the firebird was considered the v6 version. I believe that to be called you must have a V8, but who knows and who cares i am a mustang man. Oh and the Super Stallion was a piece of work could also run on alcohol i believe, another reason why i said ford uses there engineers. Cars like that and other SVE cars as well as SVT cars are just amazing.

 

I guess that's what I meant that it appealed to a smaller portion of the population. For some people (not myself but others), it might have appeared almost too aggressive. About the rattles, I admit that comment was mostly heresay. I must say that sometime during the early to mid 90s I went from absolutely loving the cars to thinking they were just over-the-top looking. I remember helping a buddy replace a window in his 97 (which was an increadible PITA because of the curves of the car) and thinking that the car was just a few refinements and design cueues away from being the hotest thing out there. These days, I admit that I'd really like to get one for a project car somewhere down the line.

 

I know its your opinion but if your comparing the SS and WS6 to a GT then of course you would get a more aggressive out of the SS and WS6 but if your you would say regular Z28 and Trans Am the GT looks better in my opinion but as far as the SS and WS6 goes, The 03-04 Cobras look better but in a way they do look better than the 99-01 cobras
