Both cars fast list and all the reviews show a minimum 0.5 second gap between the GT and SS. With a zero reaction time and a SS driver sleeping at the light, you would have a chance of getting the win but the SS et will still be 0.5 sec better. The best ever GT et can be easily replicated by an average SS driver in positive DA

Not to "attack" mustang fans, but most have convinced themselves it is only a tenth or two difference and the GT getting a 10 speed auto will make the GT as fast, possibly faster. Statistics have shown us it's about 4 tenths for the manual, 5-6 tenths for the automatic.
I'm sure they will turn up the GT for 2018, but right now there is a large gap in all aspects of performance.
If rumors are true, the 1le outperforms the GT350. Sounds like that puts the SS with a wheel and tire upgrade right on par with the GT350 as the wheels are tires are the biggest performance advantage of the 1le over the SS.
This is where the rise in Camaro hate from Ford fans come from.
