At the time I ordered my SS the 2010 GT was a joke in comparison to the SS. If the 2013-2014 GT had been out at that time I probably would have gotten a GT instead of a SS. You better check your self before you call me out.
I actually cringe when fellow Camaro owners say "well throw a couple of turns in there". It makes me laugh because a extremely large number of Camaro, Mustang, Challenger owners will engage in some sort of straight line race. Whether that be on the street, highway, airstrip or drag strip, at some point most if not all owners will race in this way. However, almost NO ONE is going to race on a road course with their cars. I'm talking maybe the smallest ever percentage of car owners will race in that way or ever have their car on that type of track. When they say that it's almost always just bragging rights like my football team beat your football team.
The 2011+ Mustang GT is faster than a SS in any type of straight line racing stock for stock and mod for mod when all variables are the same until you start changing the entire engine on a SS. Then it gets a bit blurry. I have never said anything otherwise. The 2011+ GT is faster than the SS because of a 200-300lb weight difference, SRA, and ability to run a 15" slick/DR. It is what it is.

Not sure why it makes you cringe or laugh...the Camaro was built for the turns. As I stated in my earlier comment, from my experience only, I've beaten them both on curvy roads. And they've beaten me in a straight line about half the time. Driver and launch playing a huge role in the drags. I love my car, and just because a 5.0 or SRT8 is faster 0-60 and in the 1/4 on paper, I would never own either one. No fanboy here, just a diehard Camaro guy.
