I love that it had dual mode exhaust and mag ride. the dealer is not charging any markup so it will be around 60k. but I started cross shopping the 350 against other cars and I had no idea you could get those same features in the ss. I can get a fully loaded 2ss with those features for far less. plus the Camaro has some really neat tech in it. so I may be switching to a Camaro but have a few q?
how does the mag ride in Camaro compare to suspension in the 350. how do the seats compare to the mustang gt seats. the mustang seats hug pretty well even in base trim.
is the bigger brakes option on the SS a must? how do they compare to the gt performance pack.

I would suggest you go test drive a 2SS with mag ride. The seats are great, they don't hug like a Recaro but the bolsters are very good and they are very comfortable. The 6 piston brakes are only worthwhile if you plan to track the car. The standard Brembos are more than enough for spirited street driving. The NPP exhaust is also another great option as you can set it from stealth to track mode to achieve the exhaust volume you desire.
The magride is also very nice. You get three modes, Tour, Sport and Track. Tour will be softer than a non-MRC car and Track will be firmer. In the 2SS trim you get the safety tech, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, backup sensors. Bose stereo, Apple CarPlay android auto, HUD with g-meter, customizable interior lighting, lighted door sills, ventilated and heated leather seats, heated steering wheel, etc.
If I could sum it up, the new Camaro SS is basically a 4 seater Corvette. There are folks clocking 3.7-3.9 0-60 times, 1/4mi in 12 seconds. The 1LE will beef up the springs and sway bars even more and optimized the MRC for track use. If you are a track rat this is the best bang for the buck. If you really just cruise the streets/daily driver then the 2SS may appeal more with all,the creature comforts and tech.
