It's close...
2011 Mustang GT 5.0 liter (302 cu. in.) engine displacement that will produce 412 horsepower and 390 ft/lbs of torque.
vs.
2011 Camaro SS 6.2 L (380 cu in) LS3 V8 producing 426 hp (318 kW) and 420 lbf·ft (570 N·m) at 4600 rpm
or
2011 Corvette C6 6.2 L (380 cu in) LS3, resulting in 436 bhp (325 kW) and 428 lb·ft (580 N·m) if ordered with the optional performance exhaust

Effective torque will be better. I estimate the 5.4 to be 5% lower in torque, but 10% higher usable RPM band, thus a net gain. If the car has 10% better gears you will have more torque at the rear wheels (alternativly, just keep it in gear longer).
