But yeah...its only a matter of time before the Camaro SS gets a 10 speed as well. Then the Camaro may pick up another 10th or two and the gap widens again. Mustang will need more power or less weight, or both to catch the Camaro in this generation.

Perhaps. That's assuming Ford even cares that Mustang is the slower of the two cars. If the sales numbers continue like they have, they may not do anything until gen 7, aka the MY 2020.
This is the "down side" to having the higher selling car, there's little incentive to make substantial improvements.
