"Just as the Mustang GT is a lot closer to the Camaro SS than its horsepower difference suggests it ought to be, the Camaro SS is a lot closer to the GT500than you'd think."

Looks like the GT500 is the pure raw track car while the SS is the daily driver muscle. I'd say that's pretty accurate and where both manufacturers are trying to position their respective cars. At least they admit it makes more sense to compare it to the GT..... this from the same people who pit the ZR1 against a jet.
