And whats wrong with Guns-N-Roses?

Stock for stock is one thing, but once modded, all bets are off. And, like you said, they are cheaper to mod than a bicycle, so EXPECT that GT500 to be modded. Once the market calms down and Ford dealers put the **** lube away more people will begin getting brave with mods since it will no longer be a $60-70k vehicle.
So, stock for stock, I stand by the E55 having the upper hand (auto tranny and ESP go a long way towards a good launch), but even with simple mods, the GT500 will be packing SERIOUS heat.
I agree. (BTW I love Guns N' Roses, Slash kicks *** ) Stock for stock I think its good competition to the 55, but with an auto tranny and, as you said, the fact that very few GT500s are even modded at this point, I would also give the 55 an upper hand. A GT would be a fun car to have, but its no 55.
