It is a bit silly to compare these two cars. Each is sold to a different audience. While the Camaro holds its own in performance, despite all the understeer, no one is cross shopping these two cars.

The M4 is partly a status symbol that represents the amount of $$ that is the entry into the club. While the SS can run with the M4 it does not get you into that club.

We can dream though can't we?

Silly? Nah. It's all good fun. The SS humbled that M tbh. No one enjoys shelling out that kind of cash to be spanked by bowtie.

Reviews like this won't attract BMW cross shopping but do provide a nice benchmark for the Camaro. The marriage of Corvette and Cadillac moved Camaro upmarket with Chevy charging a premium. Knocking off the M4 and being praised for transcending the pony car segment goes a long way to losing the mullet image. Camaro now competes with the best form Europe.

You're dead wrong. I was/am considering the BMW M2/3/4 and I have never owned, looked at, or considered the Camaro before. Chevy's improvements on the Gen 6 and the value-for-the-money are something to think about. I am very glad they did this comparison. It's what I wanted and needed to see. I knew it "on paper" and the video brought it to life. Still on the fence about the Camaro styling.

Porsche and Corvette supposedly compete against each other , but their owners most likely don't cross shop the other and they get compared all the time.

Love this old video! Just shows you how impressive the Camaro is.

I would bet you money, if they did a video Camaro SS vs a GT350.. many people will be surprise how similar the numbers will be as well.
