Like I posted before, the gen5 ZL1 does have more horsepower but yet stock only runs 11.9-12.20 in the 1/4m. There are gen6 A8 guys running that bone stock. Then something about far fewer issues was mentioned; only issues I'm aware of were rattling in the NPP optioned exhaust, rearend gear noise, and mosaic black paint coverage which have all been fixed by the factory at this time. And with the amount of problems the LSA has had, I don't think there's much room to talk there. I've got nothing against the gen5 ZL1 besides the fact that in my opinion all the gen5's interior is ugly as sin. As for the comment "who buys a Camaro for the interior amenities", well the fact that you're inside the car, sitting in the interior every time you drive the car, I'd say it's kind of important. It's all an opinion thing, and what you like most. I hated the '10-13 tail lights and front grill, the '14-15's didn't look bad but I just couldn't get over the interior and the fact that the Mustang 5.0 Coyote was flat out a faster car. Once the gen6 came out, to me they fixed the ugly front end, kept the back end similar to the '14-15's which I liked, the interior is a vast improvement, they made the car actually handle well, and they put a more powerful engine in it and used the 3.73's with the 6M, making it a huge step above both the gen5 SS and the Mustang GT performance wise. For me it was a no brainier.
