I cringe every time I see someone doing huge burnouts with these expensive tires. Yeah at the drag strip maybe a short burnout, but not just for fun, unless you have tons of money to, literally, burn.

The Shaker audio system is untouchable by Gm as is the Sync system. The driver's perspective is much better. But I went from a '13 Grand sport to it so no surprise.
That being said my SS handles much better and is much more connected to the highway and roads. It is just, hands down, a lot more fun to drive. The Mustang is 'bad' and the SS is 'bad-azz',
I was searching for a GT350 as the next car and since owning the SS I am now waiting to check out the ZL1 or the Z28. If I can lose 50 lbs then a Vette is back on the radar!
Nothing is perfect for everybody. But it sure is fun.

Gees, it looks like you've bought more cars in the last 5 or 6 years than me, I shared that fact with my wife since she calls me an addict!
On the comparo: I was amazed when the guy said the Camaro is lacking in torque and my only thought was, compared to what? When I was living and working in Italy, I was honored to have the Italian Ferrari Challenge Cup champion drive my 2002 C5 Corvette on a short road course. When he got on the back stretch, he tried several times to do a tire burning U turn and stalled the car ever time. He came back saying the Corvette had no low end torque compared to a Ferrari. I had to laugh...take the traction control off and give it another try, buddy.
This test was absolutely worthless in my opinion. The comments were truly disingenuous and meant nothing. I wonder if they shouldn't invite a well known current owner do the testing instead of a magazine guy who has no clue about the car. I VOLUNTEER.
