''At the test track, the automatic's advantage was clear as it better harnessed the 460 horses and 420 lb-ft of Ford's latest and melodious 5.0-liter V-8: The 10-speed GT rocketed to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds versus the manual's 4.3, and it shaved half a second off the quarter-mile run, posting a 12.1 at 120 mph compared to a 12.6 at 115 mph. While the 455-hp Camaro SS with the six-speed manual bettered the similar GT with 4.0- and 12.2-second figures, the automatic Ford outpaced the 2019 Chevy with a very similar 10-speed by a tenth both to 60 mph and through the quarter, and also had a 2-mph-faster trap speed.''

Good find. I had read that article, but hadn't caught the reference to the 2019 Camaro SS they had tested.

12.1 @ 120mph is a really good time and trap speed for the Mustang (as is the 12.2 pass for the Camaro).

One thing I'd point out is that a 0.1s difference between the two isn't much, especially if it's not in the same weather conditions and track prep. I'd love to see a comparison test between them.
