An LS3 vs an SRT8 auto is going to have his hands full and unless he's a really good driver the LS3 will probably lose, the sRT8 auto gets out the gate so much better than the LS3.
An LS3 vs an SRT8 manual is a drivers race with the edge going to the SS.
These are all stock for stock, start adding in mods, tires, different pressures, etc. and it's anyones guess.
The cars are pretty close to each other, with less than a second (probably less) separating the whole field. Be glad the HP wars are back.
The new Mustang is going to be the wild card in the bunch, with less displacement but higher rpms it should be a screamer, but it'll probably take a good driver to get it to go.
I'm looking forward to running up against one and seeing what it has.

This doesn't make sense to me as the SS Auto are showing the fastest most consistent times. I don't see either the R/T nor SRT getting anywhere close to them in any video to date.
