you know what to do. Cam only LS3's are putting 470 down

Very true.
Stock cam, stock blower, stock head Cobra's are making 470-480 (and more sometimes) as well though.

Looks like the decision has pretty much been made, but I say stick with the Cobra.

Who buys a Cobra for the interior? You want a nice interior...buy a BMW or a Benz. The stock shifter position does suck ***. That's easily fixed for a $200 with a MGW short throw shifter.

yea but if your going to be driving something every day not just as a weekend cruiser, why not look at all the options..

i do agree, i wont buy or not buy a car based on the interior, but it does have some weight to pull..

I would get the Camaro, but not the 2010, I would hold out for the 2011 as they will find all the glitches by then and pricing should be better than the dealer mark up on the 2010. You can take the extra flow saved and put on some nice wheels or put in a nice system or exhaust.
I love Cobras though

I like the " just bolt a kb or whipple on" comments. Cuz bolting on a 4k+ supercharger is like buying a catback right?

But im honestly not a fan of the new camaro. Interior looks great. Has the "new car" benefit. Other than that i like the cobra in every way. And.... You get that delightful whine

A 3.4L Whipple is about $3,700 as I recall. If that's too much money, then modifying cars is the wrong hobby.
