Ford didn't "fail" at making an engine for the SHO. They gave a contract to Yamaha because Yamaha knows what they are doing in terms of getting power, out of relatively small engines. Pontiac does this them selves, and i do prefer Pontiac over Ford, but if given the choice, i would revert to an SHO because they, in my opinion, are faster then a stock SSEi.
I say this, because we used to OWN one and I actually can reinforce my own opinion, and not base it on someone else'* opinion of it..

Used to be a Ford man...

I realize that Ford puts out some real duds, and they had to get Yamaha'* help for the SHO, but what about the new GT40???!
That thing is a monster!! 500something horsepower! I don't even remember the torque right now, but they're definitely showing that when they want to, they can build a killer car.
Droool...

As for as the Cobra R I have never seen any stats, but from what I've heard about them they are not to be taken lightly. Supposed to have an easy 100 hp over the GTO, but then again the Cobra is supercharged and the GTO isn't (Pontiac is supposed to be coming out with an even more hi-po GTO next year -wonder how long until they supercharge it?).

GTO 350HP prob get into 4'* easy.
Cobra R 390HP
Viper 500HP actually stock is a 4.x second range car as well
Keep in mind, when they test new cars, stock, they test them like how they're used in real life. They don't break torque, or anything, or keep it in D. Do they all have manuals?
GTO has the corvette engine in it...

the Viper is a super car in terms of speed and runs 0-60 with a good drive in 3.8-3.9 seconds
the GTO, well... it just isn't gonna hold up against ethier of these cars, and it'* the only one you can get with an automatic transmission
