Mustang Cobra V/S Camaro SS Article
Found this article http://www.stangbangers.com/01_Cobra...SS_Article.htm
Said the camaro dynoed 260 HP that seems realy low for a SS Look ar my sig it did 316 with the mods.
What gives. The 1/4 mile time and speed seems good.
Thanks, jason

ya the trap speed is where you can see it had to be on the dyno .So like said earlier it had to be a mustang dyno they tend to read lower hp numbers but a 107 mph is a good runnign stock camaro .That would probaly translate to anywhere from 290-300 hp on a dynojet which is what most of use if we have the ability to chose

Good reading. I noticed it's a "mustang" publication, and they state the "correction factor" for the Mustang dyno at 1.2 for the SS, and 1.3 for the Cobra? Why would they have a different "dyno correction" factor? It shows approx. 322 rwhp for the SS, vs. 312 for the Cobra, yet the numbers don't lie. The cars weigh virtually the same, but the SS's trap speed is light-years ahead of the Cobra. It's hard to find articles and test-times that aren't skewed one way or the other.
