From a dig on general surface, they are incredibly close up to 100+mph.
From a roll it was obvious the GT500 would win.

It was also surprising to see the M4 handle better on the 200ft skidpad test although on a full track test GT500 would be faster for sure.

Neat comparison of two very different RWD cars. M4 does well here all things considered. The problem with the GT500 is that it's just got too much power and torque for a front engine RWD layout. It just can't put its power down which means it's kind of wasted unless you are already moving. Over 4200 lbs for a RWD sedan is also on the porky side but the massive 305 front and 315 rear Cup 2 tires help it get around like a supercar on the track.
