The GT350 has received praise throughout the automotive world at introduction and continues to do so as the car you want. The only folks calling it a failure are within this forum.
The 500 will soon be released and will likely be faster than anything the Camaro has to offer in any trim level.
So IMO it is the Camaro presently failing or clinging to the life raft. Its 3-year dominance in the segment is over.

Magazines have one goal...to sell magazines. So any praise they give to one car over another can be attributed to them trying to keep their customers happy. A better sense for how the car fares is to read actual owner reviews. On the Camaro pages there have been lots of former GT350 guys who got rid of that junk for a ZL1 and each of them has said they would do it all over again in a heartbeat, that the ZL1 is a much better performing car, and that they prefer it over the Shelby. I have yet to see one person who switched from a ZL1 to a GT350 R or non-R. LOL!!
GT is faster but only after redesigning the entire car from the ground up. It spent most of it's life getting destroyed. The 370Z was more a match for the GT than the GT was for the SS, lol!! Even after the extensive rebuild it still suffered many engine problems. The PP2 coolers fiasco. The list goes on. I can round off several things. All you can mention is sales, lol, which we all know means nothing. The GT500 is the only saving grace and even it won't be top dog in any of the categories that matter except for being the most expensive, the longest to develop, and having the highest markups. And who knows what engine, trans, suspension, problems will plague even that thing.
