And with this bump in power and all the goodies I still don't think the GT will completely match the SS. It'll close the gap but the GT will always be a modder's car.
I fully expect the GT with the A10 to run right with the A8 SS or possibly better at the strip and on the street. If it's capable of 3.9 second 0-60, the new A10 transmission is negating any torque advantage the SS holds. Now after the 60-mph mark this motor will really pour it on.
