Dually noted. I think, in this particular test, the cars were driven by multiple drivers and the best time won (at least I think I read that...)
I have a feeling the newer 5.0 would have been even closer to the M3 as it got a bump in power and some other tweaks. The new Camaro SS is about 4 seconds faster than the M3, but it has a better suspension than the Mustang.
