It's worth noting the Mustang pulled ahead after the 1/4 mile, completing the 1 mile drag race (on what appeared to be salt flat or dirt flat) at 157mph vs. 151mph for the Camaro. They did the normal acceleration tests at the test track they always use, but went to this salt/dirt flat for the 1 mile drag race.
Overall, they were not impressed with the Mustang GT Perf Pack1 chassis dynamics or magnetic ride control tuning. Its Streets of Willow Lap time was about halfway between the base SS and the V6 1LE. The 12.6s 1/4 mile time matches Car and Driver's acceleration results (slightly slower than ALL magazine tests on the base SS that I'm aware of), but good power/gearing allow it to pull ahead above speeds of ~120mph.
Great show and really good video footage on both cars! The Mustang refresh styling is growing on me after watching that.
