A Camaro head to head coming. Interesting competitor
Saw this on Instagram. I figured the Mustang would be first.

Should be close. The matchup I had hoped for. But a while ago when I suggested the Camaro needed to be good enough to lure buyers of this car I caught a lot of flack.

The problem with luring buyers from BMW is that the Camaro doesn't wear a Roundel. Sadly, that's what a lot of those buyers are looking for.

There is $20-$25 thousand dollar difference between these cars. The BMW may have an advantage or two, we'll see. If these cars were the same money, I might have bought a BMW... However, you can almost buy an SS and an LT for the price of the M4. No thanks BMW... I think this will be a great match up, because it is clear that the Camaro is in a different league when compared to the Mustang. Been watching YouTube for comparison videos, and not seeing much... This should give me my fix.

To the OP, nice find. Pretty sure many of us have been waiting for this to happen since there are overwhelmingly positive reviews about the car. A challenger is needed, and as BrianInJackson said, the Mustang GT isn't seen to be in the same realm as this SS. Our cars punch above their weight big time. It's really nice to see this.

I've actually been cross shopping the M4. Used 2015s go for about $60k. It's definitely more than the Camaro, but it's in the same ballpark. Plus, when I resell in 3-5 years I would theoretically make up some of the price difference. Having owned a BMW and a Chevy before, beyond the differences in the car you get a dramatically different service experience. Many M owners also have other BMWs so there is a ton of brand loyalty to overcome to put a camaro high on the short list of M4 alternatives. Both are great cars so hard to lose with either one.

^^ i agree the service experience and average SALES experience between the two are tough(that ive experienced in NJ). I have bought a few new BMWs just because they listen to what makes me happy and deliver; versus arrogance telling me what makes me happy.
