But the SS gets going 2500 rpm sooner.

"Most people" spend more time driving in the lower rpm range so the low end grunt is more enjoyable and useful. Its neat that a GT will catch the SS before a mile though.

By the end of the quarter mile, the Camaro is still in the lead but not by much: 12.5 seconds at 115.2 mph for the Chevy versus the Mustang’s 12.6 seconds at 115.1 mph

To the best of our cowboy science abilities, we marked off what probably was pretty close to a mile and went for it. The Mustang repeatedly beat the Camaro, showing 159 mph on its speedo to the Chevy’s 151 mph.
