The GT350 vs 1LE is the match up we’d all like to see but it’s been deliberately avoided as to not embarrass Ford. This whole generation has been match ups to avoid exposing how far behind the S550 is.

We have a Camaro 1LE on non stock tires competing against a Mustang on stock tires, and the review still preferred the Mustang in the end, as many others have as well. On stock tires the times would have likely been very similar.

Each day you get into your car you are not setting out to set a record track time, this is where the Camaro continues to miss the mark.
