Going by simple, hard data the Camaro ran 3-4 tenths faster than the 2010 Mustang, and 3-4 tenths slower than the 2011.
Stock for stock, with equal drivers, the SS will have a hard time keeping up and has no advantage beyond grip (maybe). Simple physics. Once you start modding, as others have said, all bets are off, and it becomes a money game.

In head to head comparisons such as motor trend, the camaro had a .6 tenth advantage as well as a 6 mph trap advantage. We now have a head to head comparison showing a 4 tenth advantage with equal traps. We also have other tests showing them to run equal that were not performed on the same day but by the same mags (slower than camaro in car and driver, same speed as camaro in edmunds etc). And in all these tests traps were nearly identical.
Not even close to the same situation as before.
No need to be sour because you will have a hard time hanging with the 2011 mustang...............v6
