All told, the new GT500 is probably going to be a little quicker than the Camaro SS.....but for $10,000+ difference...I still see the SS as the better deal even in that comparison.
The SS will win every comparison with the GT, and more likely than not the GT500 because of the very similar performance for such a astronomical amount of more $$

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
