We can go either of two ways here . . . either blindly accept "it's because they're different" and dismiss the whole thing while learning nothing, or try to get to another level of detail that might be useful. What was it that made the 285/305 on 10/11 combination better? Or alternatively, why wasn't the previous 285/285 on 10/11 combination as good? Yes, I'm aware that there is a 5-point profile difference.

A closer comparison would be between the ATS-V and the Camaro given they are on the same platform.

Perhaps so, but the missions of those two cars differ, where the missions of the 5th gen and 6th gen Camaros are the same. Cadillac vs Camaro, you'd tune for a different compromise between ride and handling.
I don't want to drag this off-topic with comparisons to the various Mustang generations beyond noting that the S197 doesn't have much in common with the SN95 (which was an evolution of the Fox . . . i.e. Fairmont). The 5th and 6th gen Camaros are more alike than the SN95 and S197 (never mind the S550 to any previous Mustang).
