Not apples-to-apples in tires (all-seasons vs summer)
Also had some sort of "hero" Camaro 2.0T? It was fast, or faster, than many V6's tested. Not sure how they produced those acceleration numbers. Even a fluke 0-60 shouldn't have given them the quarter mile time they pulled.
C&D's comparison of "base" pony cars was a thousand times better.

Don't remember C&D doing a comparison of the base cars. They compared a 2LT V6 and a EB PP Premium I believe. Which the numbers in that review were quite different than when they reviewed the cars individually.

Chevy states that the Camaro 4 cyl is pitted best against Mustang V6. And that the Camaro V6 is pitted best against the Mustang T4.
But many of the media types at the event dismissed this concept, which I thought was a little arrogant of them to do...but, I suppose there is some truth to the idea that customers may shop engine v engine in dealers...

The part about swapping tires was at the bottom of the main article when I saw it.
