Your verdict is wrong, the M4 isn't faster on any of the direct track time comparisons. There's a 6 second difference at VIR. SS 1LE is markedly faster.

No clear winner? I don't understand a site that is titled "Fastest Laps" that does not declare a clear winner in this and other comparisons. The Camaro SS 1LE destroys the BMW M4 on the track laying down the "fastest laps" by numerous seconds at VIR, LS and Streets of Willow. These are significant gaps in lap times. The BMW faster in the 1/4 mile by 0.5 of a second is a straight line winner, but fastest laps? Come on. What am I missing? Focus on the fastest lap times and report the obvious "fastest laps" clear winner by a significant margin. Also listing cars with a faster 1/4 mile time as faster by a considerable margin, that get's torched on a track is not reporting the fastest laps. I do love the website, it's really cool to compare vehicles, the verdicts are somewhat puzzling.
