2007 dodge charger srt-8 stock/modded
This thread is a little stupid. No 03-04 Cobra is the same. Look at how differently they all dyno'd stock and then you are trying to classify how they would run with different mods done to them that you have not even elaborated on...
What does the GTO and SRT8 modded even mean? Turbo, Supercharger, bolt-ons, Nitrous?
I don't think there is much that would be faster than an 03 Cobra TT. They put down over a thousand hp.

im not sure what modifications are on the charger and gto....im basically saying..which car is faster stock and which is fastest with the best modifications designed for that cars top performance
Your talking about compound boost, actually the turbo's work better on their own than the stock SC there to slow it down.
Well thats a good thing to know. I just read an article about it and found it quite interesting.

Stock for stock the SVT Cobra has both the GTO and the Charger beat. the Charger SRT-8 runs a mid 13 second quarter mile while the GTO runs a low 13 quarter mile and the Cobra runs a mid 12 second quarter mile. I would think that if you do the exact same mods to all three cars the Cobra's 4Valve 4.6L V8 will be more responsive to mods.
Did you get those times out of magazines? The SRT8, 6.0L GTO, and 03-04 Cobra's generally run low 13's to high 12's in the hands of normal driver's. Those are what most people report at tracks. They are all driver's races. Nothing more, Nothing less.
Sure the Cobra can put down over 1,000hp twin turbo but so can the SRT8 and ls2...
Look up performance parts for the LS2, SRT8, and 4.6L 4v and see how cost effective they all are. Generally they are all gaining about the same horsepower for roughly the same price. The LS2 parts are cheaper than Cobra and SRT8 parts and give just as good of gains.
I still think that this thread was a waste of time and space. A TT Cobra is not cost effective compared to an LS2 or SRT8 or even a swapped SC motor from the Cobra's. The cost to TT a Cobra is high and the power is not usable once you have it.
thanks for your info......so tell me is the twin turbo made for midrange power........or is it for top end power
Ok, so I have to say that I don't think you understand really what horsepower is and how it determines top speed. Horsepower is a measure of how much power an engine has, that is, how much work it can do in a certain amount of time. All other things equal (body style of car, traction, gears, etc), more horsepower = many things: lower 0-60, lower 1/4 time, and higher top speed. When a car reaches top speed, what is happening is that the force of the air pushing on the front of the car is equal to the force the wheels are putting tangent to the the tires, along the ground--basically, the "force" the engine is producing is equal to the "force" the wind is pushing back with against the car, so it stays at the same velocity, not able to accelerate faster.
You've been using the terms "top end" and "mid range", as I can tell from your posts, to mean mid range SPEED and top-end SPEED, not RPM's of the engine. I am not sure if you read that TT are made for top end power, and you interperted that to mean "top end speed," or what, but you're mistaken. When someone says TT are made for "top-end", that means the POWER doesn't kick in until you are in a higher RPM of the engine. It doesn't mean that a TT is better at acheiving a top end speed than a supercharger is--a 600 hp supercharged car will (again, other things equal) have a higher top end speed than a 590hp TT car.
I'm sorry, it's just this thread combined with another one you started, along with your posts, makes me think you don't get what determines a car's top end speed. It is a combination of aerodynamic profile (downforce, etc), gearing, and pure power. It doen't matter at all at top speed whether the power is from a blower or a TT.
Who's The Fastest? 
but what your asking has too many different variables like Cobra Modded? Bolt-on's is what your asking? Cobra nos, what shot?
