Magazines have the run the SS Camaro and gt 500 mustang against one another and the average difference is .2 in the 1/4 mile in favor of the gt 500. There's more difference in a driver. For $50K a pop for the gt that money is NOT well spent. Imagine what one can do with $20K on their SS Camaro. A $30K SS Camaro is a steal!

I've made few modifications to my SS with more to come and so far gt 500s come in 2nd on regular basis in the 1/4 mile.

I like all performance cars, even own a 1969 Mustang 351 (my wife drives on weekends). I can speak from experience the current gt 500 is way overrated and most of the Ford's performance mustangs cannot back up their performance. That's not to say ford mustangs are not fast.
And what experience is this??
