I don't think getting the weight down to the base GT is as critical for the SS. The Camaro and Mustang will probably have similar HP numbers but the Camaro will have a substantial torque advantage. With the Mustang gaining weight and IRS with bigger wheels and brakes, it will lose most of its straight line advantage.

I think they will be close in weight. No way is the Camaro going to be 300 lbs heavier than the Mustang which was its only real advantage.
