A buddy of mine beat a '08 GT500 by 1/2 a car length until they got to about 100mph's and then the Stang crept back right as they got through the 1/4 mile mark at the track. I have added a CAI, LT Headers, and got a good tune and I can pull them by 2 car lengths now. The Mustang is truly an inferior car stock for stock. Sure pro driver's can get into the 11's with the GT500 but the truth is that you and me (the average guys) just can't do that. It has been a proven mid 12 second to high 12 second car even with 500hp. The Camaro has been a proven low to mid 13 sec car depending on conditions as well. I have seen this first hand racing them, the difference is not very much at all. I do not hate Mustangs by any means, I really like the GT500s alot and respect them. But to keep bashing the Camaro is crazy, it is 100% the best car of the group for now at least. A 5.0 400hp GT will still not have much of a chance if it even makes it out. I am a true racer, I have raced all kinds of drivers in all kinds of cars, you win some and you lose some, but the difference between a GT500 and a Camaro SS are not that far off at all. It's time to admit this.

Even the old LT equipped Z28's took to simple bolt on's very well but those two remarks there
I think your version of 2 car lengths and what 2 car lengths really equal out to are totally different. I don't even have to point out that GT500's are hitting mid 12's and Camaro's mid 13's, you already said it. You and I both know that a 1 second plus difference in 1/4 mile E/T doesn't mean the slower of those two is "keeping up" with the faster one, that's commonly referred to as "being left behind". Yeah, not hardly any difference between the Camaro and the GT500, civilized society as a whole must be completely clueless. You are absolutely correct about the drivers being an intregal factor as well as winning some and losing some. To throw a blanket statement out there like the one regarding Camaros and GT500s not being that far apart though.....
