It's worth noting they made sure the two muscle cars were on the same rubber for that test. The BMW was from an older test and was not on the same tires.
Not saying the BMW would be faster, and I believe one of the camaro or mustang was on the stock tires, but the other wasn't.
If all three were on the same tires the times would be closer.
I also think people should absolutely buy and drive what they like, and the OP has plenty of good and valid reasons for preferring muscle cars. The mustang and the camaro are really good these days and if the M2 didn't exist, I'd be giving them both a very serious look.
