This is the simple reality of the situation. Everyone here likes to talk lap times as if they're the more important aspect of a fast street car, but the simple truth is the percentage of BMWs that actually pull track duty on an regular basis is extremely small, even among enthusiasts.
As you said, the Camaro will hold it's own in the turns, and will SHINE in the Stoplight Grand Prix.
All that said, I can't wait to demonstrate to some of the new owners what a BMW looks like with a JB3 strapped to the ECU.
