2002 SS Camaro vs Cobra
 

Can anyone tell me the stats on both cars stock?

what year cobra..

engine stats or performance?

pre 03 cobra<SS

03/04 cobra>SS

93 Cobra - 235hp
94-95 Cobra - 240hp
96-98 Cobra - 305hp
99/01 Cobra - 320hp
03-04 Cobra - "390hp"

96-97 Camaro SS - 305hp (315hp optional exhaust)
98-00 Camaro SS - 320hp (330hp optional exhaust)
01-02 Camaro SS - 325hp (335hp optional exhaust, 345hp optional exhaust/lid)

The 99 cobras were an odd year you might say. They were rated at 320 hp, but routinely dynoed around 245-260 RWHP, or about the same as the 96-98 305 HP Cobras.

1999 Cobras had a PCM problem (maybe others?) & were fixed by Ford after a lawsuit was filed b/c they did not make advertised power.

:werd:

They've all been recalled and fixed.

OK. I retract my previous statement. I know there was a big stink about it. I read an article about the 01s dynoing around 272 to the wheels. So if they fixed the problem I would assume the 99s would dyno the same.

the new cobras are pretty quick. but any other years a stock f-bod should be good to go.

hopefully :bang:

Ah don't you love factory ratings :jest:

Yup, I'm glad mine only has "320hp"

Hell, looking at that a 97 LT1 SS should be faster than my car :secret:

-Todd

There are guys on thirdgen.org that think they make more power than LS1s because of those factory numbers :judge:

Which ones? Obv the 82's right? CFI'S FOR EVERYONE!

Honestly though, I thought the highest they got was 260 horses?

-Todd

245hp and 345tq 90-92 L98 (350 TPI). Only available with an automatic and 3.23 gears though.

:eyes:

That is a lot of torque, though.

How much power did the TTA have?

-Todd

considering the 03 cobra needs a power adder just to keep up with a LS1 makes me laugh. at the track, my car with just convo pros and 4.10s, i was able to beat them all the time. even had one guy get pissed and told the officials that he was ahead of me at the end of the track. it was close but i was able to pull on the top end all the time. im keeping my LS1. :nod:

and i had a 350 TPI camaro back in the day, and it was not nearly as powerfull as a LS1 stock to stock.

My first car was an 89 IROC-Z with the 350. It was very torquey out low, but it didn't breath well in the upper rpms. It's not even a close match for a LS1. I an excellent running one though *can* keep up up light to light, but that's about it.

As far as the TTA, it's had GN numbers I believe. I think they were running 13's stock. I forget.

supercharged cobras are nothing to laugh at. its hard to compare to an ls1 since their compression is about 8.5 : 1 as compared to an ls1's 10.xx:1..of course the cobras will be slower N/A. but the LS1 will never have what the cobras have from the factory and that is forged internals that can handle 800hp+. for the record 4.6s have gone faster than LS1s....
