Once they are tested we'll probably see a very low 12 sec @ 118-119 mph car vs. a mid 11 sec car @ 125-126 mph. The 60-130 mph time of the CT5 Blackwing will also be at least 2 seconds faster than the CT4 Blackwing as well. We're talking about the difference between a ZL1 or Hellcat compared to an A10 Mustang GT in a straight line. Stock for stock, an A10 GT easily gets walked by a ZL1 or Hellcat.
"Very little" difference to me is 1-2 mph and 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile.
I get that you have to pay to play, though; for some, it may not be worth it.

If the CTS-V is any indication, the CT5-V Blackwing will likely trap 119-121 mph and run low 12s to high 11s in stock form. The GM performance offerings are always behind the competition when it comes to acceleration, but usually ahead in the handling department.
