Looks like the GT500 is the pure raw track car while the SS is the daily driver muscle. I'd say that's pretty accurate and where both manufacturers are trying to position their respective cars. At least they admit it makes more sense to compare it to the GT..... this from the same people who pit the ZR1 against a jet.

$10 that jet had NOS

Make no mistake, if you have the ability to extract maximum performance from the car the GT500 is genuinely stupid fast. Does that somehow make the Camaro SS a loser? Of course not. DOes the fact that Joe average is never going to be able to tell the diffrence between these two cars make the GT500 a loser? Of course not.
Both cars have a lot to offer. And, depending upon what you want out of your car, your personal abilities, and the size of your wallet, each makes a compelling argument for itself.
