The GTPP is definitely trying to be a great street car with some track readiness. It's ready to go to the occasional track day, but it's more focused on being a car you'd be happy with commuting in every day. Compared to the 1LE it is softer, more comfortable, feature-rich, and in classic Ford fashion, totally under-damped for the high speed stuff.
Looking at the two objectively it's obvious they both serve different purposes. I'd say the 1LE would make more sense to be compared to a Boss-variant of the current Mustang, if that makes any sense. The previous Boss took away a lot of the comfort features and focused on track prowess, however it (the standard Boss) was still outperformed by the 1LE.

For all intents and purposes. I WOULDN'T compare the 1LE to a BOSS for 1 main reason. $38k puts you in. 1SS1LE and $42k puts you in a 2SS1LE. It's still cheaper than a loaded out GT and if you load out the 2SS with sunroof n nav. Its still almost 2k cheaper than the GT.
Also the fact these two cars are as direct as direct competitors can ever be!!!! I would directly compare a 1LE to a Track pack.
Same car type, same money, same philosophy. If stang went softer? They chose not to step up performance-wise in there own segment.
The ZL1 and BOSS compare closer.
