I have zero interest in putting any year Camaro down, but I will back up what I posted above. Two items clipped from different sources ought to be enough, and I wasn't even looking hard.

Yes, this one pits a 2011 Mustang against 2010's, but mostly that just brings the Mustang up to the low 400's HP party. That time, MT wasn't even letting price differences get in the way of matching these three up.
The 1LE really, REALLY needed to fix that ↑↑↑ , no?

Okay so perhaps the 2011 5.0 has a slight edge on the 2010 SS, On Willow its faster by .1 seconds, So Im still sticking with what I said they are both just about equal in every way and the Camaro is less powerful and heavier, Though Ford says the 5.0 makes 415 HP or w/e they claim consistent dyno's have shown it makes more around 435. However a .1 second slower on a 1:37 timed lap at willow still doesnt explain how the 2012 Boss 302 LS is 3 whole seconds slower around willow than the 2012 1LE. When the 1LE is a add on package to a standard SS and not a significantly different car like the 302 LS and the 5.0. Also the price differences, 37k 1LE vs 47k 302 LS...
I'm sorry I just think that pretty much proves the amount of difference there really is, you can maintain the SS is worse than the 5.0 I'll respect that but I think that shows how much potential the SS is not using. And that the 1LE is just a better car than the 302. But to each their own.
