I'd put my money on the SS Camaro, and believe it or not I'm not the biggest fan of the Camaro. If I could afford a GT500, I'd have one, well no I wouldn't, I'd have a CTS-V. Anyway, the 540hp GT500 is barely quicker than an SS. So if you take away 120hp and maybe 200lbs from a GT500, how much quicker would it be if any. Overall weight is one thing, but the Mustang has too much of it in the front, making it a nose heave pig, making traction a big issue. For that reason, I think the Camaro will have the dragstrip advantage. I've driven a measely 09 Bullitt Mustang, and it was very fun to drive, fishtailing on the 1-2 shift, spinning the tires easily and all, but it was slow.
