I'm also really eager to see this comparison.
Like many I think to be fair 2018 GT M6 PP1 should be compared to 1SS Camaro.
PP2 would be a better match for the 1LE, though not so different from PP1 except from the tires ans wheels, and little aero mods
For what I can tell, having owned a 2017 Camaro 2.0T for 9 month, and currently owning a 2017 Corvette C7 GrandSport M7 and a 2018 Mustang GT M6 PP1 :
- Mustang is way more liveable on a daily basis / with kids
- The revised 5.0 Coyote is my opinion a better engine than the LT1 because :
* It's more refined
* It sounds better
* The powerband is greater, almost as much torque, punch above 4500
and 7500 redline with no loss of power (LT1 is great is the 4500-6200
range)
- Compared to the Corvette gearbox the new MT82-4 is faster, greater to use, but I know the Camaro SS gearbox is great. On the Vette the transaxle complicate things
- Brake bite is really good in the Mustang
As far as Performance it still feels to much the LT1 is more punchy (but my vette is also a lot lighter), especially at low speeds
As far as handling, the Camaro feels more planted (I don't speak about the C7 GS which is a handling marvel), precise. On the road the 2018 PP1 feels pretty good, but not as sharp
I have almost no doubt the SS will be faster (slightly ?) on a roadcourse, and 1LE still slighly faster than the PP2, even more in the long run because of cooling
I just took one time my Stang on mountains roads for now (and on winter tires), but the car was a lot of fun because of the engine, brakes and gearbox
