I might as well get in on this too. Here is my .02. The GT500 is a nice looking car, don't think it is as aggressive looking as the camaro, but is good for a mustang to say the least. Here what i don't get...why are we comparing a (most likely after all markups) a 50k+ car to a 31k car? I mean a base SS costs you 31k, and we are just talking performance right now. 19k is a lot, i can go buy a new silverado for that, or a used GTO. lol. I mean thats a lot of money to just ignore. Even if you did get a GT500 for 45k its still 14k difference. Wow, i just can't ignore that fact in this arguement. You can get a used z06 that would probably blow the doors off a gt500 for that money. Just a thought though. Of course a car that is 10k+ more is going to perform better, duh. Around the track it probably won't, which is sad, but in a straight line, have fun. But like was said, dollar for dollar, a camaro can be faster than a GT500. Put a cap on it, and i think the camaro would still win.
