The Charger is a 4-door sedan based on the 300c chassis, it's not even in the same class as a high 12 second Cobra. It's yet another 14 second Hemi driven car.
Nothing can compare to what you can do do an '03 Cobra as opposed to anything Dodge or Chevy offers. The Camaro will probably come with an LS1 motor, and go mid/low 13's like the C5 Vette did, anything else and it's a waste of time and money spent in production. It will most likely be put on the GTO chassis/drivetrain. Probably made a little bit lighter. Although, at this point it's all speculation.
I think they look is sick, but Chevy is a little proud of what they make. I was actully quite impressed that MSRP on a Vette was $800 lower then the C5. I think Chevy made a great move with the Vette in the right direction, if they continue, they could be right there with Ford. Remember though, no Cobra for the '05 models has been released yet from what I've seen, who knows how bad ass that thing is going to be.
