Camaro won - beat the M4 in almost every measure.

Camaro won in 0-60, 1/4 mile, and braking. M4 won by .2 seconds around the track.





The M4 did manage to just edge out the Camaro at Willow Springs. You could see the M4 had the low end turbo advantage when accelerating.

For reference - MT's testing at Willow Springs:
http://www.motortrend.com/news/compa...ck-mustang-gt/

2015 Camaro 1LE: 1:22.81
2015 Mustang GT PP: 1:24.32

So the SS is indeed just about as quick as the 5th gen 1LE. Would be nice to test them on the same day to see what the real difference is.

The Camaro won because it was better in almost every category. That's how objective tests work. And since people keep whining...that's how it goes. Camaro won in 0-60, 1/4 mile, and braking. M4 won by .2 seconds around the track.

What were the 'price as tested'?

Here it's 45K for a 1SS and 65K for the M4.

Apparently it was over $81,000 for the M4.
