There's still the issue of gas mileage. They can only put so much hp in the SS before the mileage is just not good enough.
I've also noticed the early tests of the SS in magazines last year had it at 4.8 to 60. Now that they have broken in engines, the last two motor trend tests had times of 4.5 and 4.6, while the mustang gt in their car of the year testing was 5.1. So probably the 2011mustang will be about as fast as the SS, but not faster. After all the base Corvette does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and it's 300 pounds lighter than the mustang.
