2011 GT vs 2010 Camaro SS VIDEO
Here's a little video i found on youtube not sure if anyone has posted yet. Looks like a drag race at an airport strip. I see cameras there so it might be the 1/8 test they did with the reporters not sure.

in that first run the Camaro driver must have been asleep at the switch, second run was more of a real contest but the Mustang still walked away . . .
but the most amazing thing about this video, is they were racing on an active runway, had to pull off to the side so that plane could land!

Eh, why would it be fake? The automatic SS (L99) is down 26 HP from the manual version (LS3) and posts a time 2-3 tenths slower than the LS3 and with the '11 GT posting around 12.8, the L99 should be about 3-4 tenths behind it.

Manuals are in the lead for the Camaro. However, it's definitely GM's fault for shortchanging automatic owners.

I think this is the eighth of a mile race everyone has been talking about. They drivers are journalists taking turns in each car so there's no ringer. I cannot say what kind of prep Ford did on the Camaro.
Auto versus auto the Mustang will walk a Camaro by 3-5 car lengths based on trap speeds.
You won't see this video on C5 anytime soon.
I don't think Gov Motors wanted to short change folks but wanted to avoid a gas guzzler tax with autos.
An auto Mustang might be no kidding faster than a manual now.
