Some pretty good advice here.

Go Camaro SS if you are ever considering doing some road course time. Why? Engine oil cooler, auxilary coolant heat exchangers, transmission cooler and differential cooler (incorporated into transmission cooler, fyi). The base 4-pot front Brembos are more than capable. Also, you have potential warranty coverage for track days.

If you don't see yourself doing road course driving, or only a few, the Mustang GT may be your better value. The Coyote 5.0L engine is a sweetheart, especially now that the 2015-present GT engine is just as good as the older Boss/Roadrunner 5.0L.

The Camaro V6 is not a bad option. It is still very quick and sporty. It also has a good exhaust note. Get the dual-mode exhaust. I suggest the V6 Camaro route if you just want a cool "pony car", but don't really need the performance of a V8.

So:
Performance driving = Camaro SS

Some tracking/car to play with = Mustang GT

Fun car to just drive = Camaro V6
