Agreed and kept my eye on the 2020 GT500 as the date to pick up my M850i came to fruition. However, although I am a Mustang fan over the Camero there is no way I'd give up the pure luxury of the M850i for the GT500 as a daily driver. Would consider otherwise if I intended to track the new ride and with the carbon fiber track pack on the GT500 it's roughly $100K which is a bargain compared to the M8C.
However, one thing I noted in the video is the aesthetics comparison between the cars in the early footage. When the 8-series hit it was bashed as looking too much like the current Mustang. Was never an issue for me as stated I like the look vs the Camero. Although the GT500 has a more aggressive front-end look I truly appreciate that cleaner look of the M8C.
