LOL, I was just giving you some shit. The Mustang is definitely more roomy than even the Camaro. At my height tho none of these cars are suitable for having a person in the back.

Thought the folks here might find it interesting:
I thought it gave an interesting insight to the "reviewer's perspective" on the car. IMO, with only 245mm MPS4S rubber up front it will be very easy to improve front end grip with a set of 305 Cup2s and some camber. So you could say yes I'm interested to see what they come up with for the Grandsport and then Z06. They could very well indeed be nearly world beaters approaching McLaren level performance...

That is some good insight. I have 100% faith that GM will have the performance models dialed in.

I do agree with your sentiment on the pony cars, while they may not be huge and spacious they definitely have enough room for kids and adult in a pinch with the back seats. While mustangs do have roomier front seats and trunks both of their back seats are uncomfortable but usable. My head hits the roof liner in the camaro and it hits the rear windshield in the mustang lol.

I have a few friends that would love a C7 and could afford one but still won't get one. Either because they have kids or don't want a third car lol. I guess they don't like the idea of having a toy that is for weekends and only used from May-October here lol. Only guy in friend group with a Vette has a C5 Z06 that he bought used.

The car is good looking and despite the problems it has and cars like the ZL1 being available for less while offering more the GT350 is still selling well enough to find buyers
