Interesting topic as I just had an encounter with an 05+ GT coupe earlier this evening. It was from a 4 way stop, we both just rolled off the line normally and then punched it in first gear at about the same time.
The mustang pulled maybe 1/4 car through first gear, but I quickly reeled him in and was even by the end of second gear. My shifts were bang on and as I shifted to third gear we were DEAD even. This is one of the closest races I have ever had in my life!
Redlined third and shifted to fourth and we both shut down around 90mph still even. VERY good race indeed. I would agree that an 05+ GT coupe vs s2k is a drivers race at certain roll speeds as long as the s2k is in its powerband, but can't help but think as we approached higher speeds the mustang would have started to pull.
edit: I should mention my mods, AEM cold air intake, fujitsubo catback exhaust. The mustang sounded/appeared to be stock.

^He never said he 'beat' his share of mustangs, just that he's raced his share of mustangs 
& I think everyone would agree it is fun when we DO beat them...
I'm curious how his race with the 2010 GT went..although I could be mistaken isn't it only the 2011's that have the new 5 liter engine with 400+hp ? Not sure if the 2010's still have the 4.6 or the new engine I'm sure somebody can clarify...
No way an s2k hangs with a 2011 GT unless it is FI!

with 11's just a tune and traction away..
(guess that I'm going to have to do a bit more to my 03 Cobra than a pulley and tune to stay ahead of them)

what mods on your S2K that allows you to beat your "share" of Mustangs?
350Rwhp on a Dynapack tuned by shawn church
New set up just lowered the boost to 7lbs 290Rwhp on a Dynojet
