As the owner of a new 16 GT who extensively tested, drove and researched the new Camaro 2SS in auto and manual, maybe this perspective helps people feel better about the Mustang:
Pure acceleration: Auto Camaro stomps the GT in a side by side race. Get in either and the acceleration is impressive in either car. +2 to the Camaro
Cornering: About equal, easier to rotate the Camaro though. +1 to the Camaro.
Sound: The performance exhaust on the Camaro sounds totally badass in comparison to the stock GT. +1 to the Camaro.
Interior: Gotta call this to the Camaro again simply because the base Camaro interior looks more modern than the GT. Outward visibility suffers in the Camaro, so this is only a +1.
Stereo, navigation, ergonomics: Sorry, again the 2SS wins. The backup camera and blind spot sensors on the Camaro work really well.
Overall experience, the 2SS Camaro is probably about 10% "better" than the 2016 GT I bought.
But I paid 15000 LESS for the GT. Is that 10% worth 15 grand? HELLS NO.
I can say to the Camaro guys...nice car, but could you buy it and have more than pocket change left over from 50k? I got a new car AND new furniture for that much.
