115? Sorry, no way.

Doesn't the 1le have different gearing, diff, tire, and suspension from the ss?https://hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/f...e-vs-2019-ford-mustang-gt-ppl2-1562178164.pdf
114 for the GT and 116 for the SS.
It does have a 2.85 for the automatic and the eLSD, plus Goodyear SC3's. So there is likely a small advantage.Doesn't the 1le have different gearing, diff, tire, and suspension from the ss?
Aside from tires and the eLSD, what would the advantages be?Also, a Camaro SS 1LE is not a Chevy SS.
I don't disagree, but worst case, an SS without 1LE would still be trapping over 110 mph, which is far from the land of a Stage 1 GTI.I can definitely pick some things in that list that when done right would quickly drop tenths and gain mph .
Depends on some factors, but stage 1 gti with good tires can touch 110. Stage 2 gti can get into the teens, that I've seen.I don't disagree, but worst case, an SS without 1LE would still be trapping over 110 mph, which is far from the land of a Stage 1 GTI.

Oh, thanks for getting me back on track, was out to sea there for a moment.I think the point Diggs was making is that a Chevy SS is a 4 door sedan. A Camaro SS is a 2 door coupe.
If we look at typical quarter mile trap speeds reported for a 2016 SS, they are around 115 mph. So in order to beat one from a roll, a GTI would typically need to be trapping at a higher mph than 115 mph. Would the OPs GTI be trapping around there with his mods? I don't know. Otherwise, as the OP indicated, the SS started in 4th gear, while the GTI was in 3rd. Being in the wrong gear has made many a "faster" car lose to a "slower" car on the street.
