Even though we already have the class of "pony car" or "muscle car" that all the rear wheel drive 2 door v8's would fit into. It was very common in those days to have a 1995 GT (or cobra) vs the camaro that was only 2 years newer, and it would get beat very badly. To me 2 years newer is definitely the same...everything. You're in the same era. It's not like putting the last GT500 against one of those camaros, where the camaro could never stand a chance and it should be obvious as to why. It's within 2 years of direct competition, which would be the Mustang GT vs Camaro Z28. Even the cobra that you mentioned from 97 or 98 wouldn't match a car that was 1 tier below it, a Z28. The cobras were what, 80 hp less for about 6 years until 2004, by which time the camaro was dead.</blockquote>
