Well he didn't exactly say beat, he said the GT500 "barely outperforms" the SS when it can't be launched properly. But I'm sure somewhere that there has been a GT500 that's loss to a 2010 SS.

Yes, I did understand what was being said. Yes, I agree that there have been SS Camaro's beating GT500's. I'm sure there have also been just as many instances of Mustang GT's beating Camaro SS's, but neither is "somewhat common". That's all I'm saying.

IMO of course
The 6.4 V8 and 3.6 Pentastar V6 are coming for 2011, and new transmissions for 2012, don't forget the CHallenger did get improvements for 2010 as well, including updates to the 6 speed manual, new touch screen stereos (standard on SRT with 30g HD on base units and 60g on nav units), and most importantly the super track pack for R/Ts that answers it's most serious detriment, handling. THis includes larger sway bars, self leveling shocks, performance brakes, full off Stability control, and 3 season tires. 11 is also a refresh which is supposed to finally offer additional colors for the interior and anew steering wheel, no idea if there will be exterior changes. Remember they don't have much cash to work with right now, but they are making improvements. honestly the R/T is powerful enough, it may not be as quick as the GT or SS Manual, but it has plenty of juice, best of 13.2 is nothing to sneeze at. The V6 and SRT are what need the most attention and they are getting it for 11.

Wait for the 6.2 V8, I have heard the 5.4 and it's transmission tuning aren't well suited to the Raptor or its abilities, but ford says the transmission tuning should be fixed for the 6.2

I would like to have the 6.2 and I may wait but I'm still going in for a test drive later today. Although I will not be taking it bajaing < spelling? I will do some offroading in it so it might not be an issue for me.
