Measuring on Google Earth, both seem to be around 1.9 miles.

It all boils down to money though. The cars achieving those speeds have hundreds of thousands thrown at them nevermind the initial purchase price. The GT is obviously a very good platform to start with too.
2wd, mid engined so it will have good traction, no doubt pretty good aerodynamics and an already good engine.
Probably the best value car out there for mile attempts.
