I do believe the new gt will be faster in the 1/4 by a tiny bit. boo

The GT's 4.3 run was confirmed by Motor Trend. As was the 12.8 second 1/4 mile run.
The difference between the 412 HP GT and the 540 (2010) GT500 is traction. The GT was able to grip much better and thus got a better time. The GT500 was unable to grip and thus ran slower. When the GT500 is given a pair of stickier tires..it leaves stuff in the dust, including SS Camaro's and GT Mustangs.
The simple fact is..stock for stock, the 2011 GT is faster both in a 0-60 run and 1/4 mile run than the 2010/11 SS. Once you start adding mods all bets are off. Dont try to discount the test, just start working on your own car because you have a 250 pound weight hole to work yourself out of.
