Nah, the Voodoo doesn't sound like a Ferrari at all. It has a flat plane crankshaft with a unique, very particular pin arrangement, plus weird 4->3 headers that give it a magical, almost-but-not-quite-crossplane sound that is even better than that of a real crossplane V8. The GT350 is the one Mustang I'd actually like to drive one day.

Truth.
I will say that the blind spot monitor saved me 2x already, in both cases during a lane change while someone was merging simultaneously into my rear end, once from the left and once from the right. Yes, probably my fault for not anticipating their turn signal-less moves...

The Mustang is simply more comfortable, and everything you need is laid out at your fingertips. The interior simply has more of a premium feel. The Camaro's center console is an absolute horror show, and that downward-angled screen is going to take some getting used to. The driver's seat doesn't recline quite as far as I'd like, but I realized at the end of my 2-hour drive home from the dealer that that's not too big a deal.

Yeah, I hear you on the console, I only use it very occasionally. The center vent rings and the physical A/C controls are pretty good though, the HUD is an absolute must now that I've had it a while, and I like the dual analog/digital cluster, too. The infotainment screen is tilted down to reduce glare. But hey, you have RGB LED stripes between the cupholders (as well)
These are all nits though, as you said, it's an amazing car. I've had mine for 5 years and the feeling hasn't subsided. (Okay, it did receive
a few upgrades, but still
.)
