It's ALMOST exactly the same in lap times too, and that's considering the Mustang had all the performance upgrades you can buy (gearing, brembos, etc) and was $3500 more expensive.
As mentioned many times before, performance metrics are SO close in these cars it's almost a wash. You pretty much have to buy the one that makes your heart race when you see it.

looks like they used 1/4 times from another source. According to the article they tested it on a 1/8mi.
they said they both were running neck and neck run after run.
looking at the video, the 1/8 there was downhill considerably which probably helped the Camaro overcome the inertia of its weight problem better
