My dad has a mustang and I don't notice a real difference, at least not enough to complain about it. If I wanted a panoramic view I would have bought a minivan. I guess maybe I am the the right height? I a 5'10 and 180 pounds. I feel like the car fits me. Now my wife is shorter, but then its only the front dash and when going over a hill she kinda has to lean forward to see...lol. Just ranting....
Congratulations on scoring an amazing car I also love how the car envelopes me, it's the closest experience to becoming one with it that I've had so far.

This thing has become a meme, it'll never go away until GM makes a change to the chassis design.

The issue is greatly exaggerated; the wide C pillar is tricky on obtuse left merges and the long hood with the high beltline makes narrow right turns and curb placement a bit more difficult, but both of these are of limited relevance. The Camaro is a sports car, not a fish tank or a monster truck. Correct side mirror setup eliminates all highway blind spots, and the BSM on higher trims adds another safety layer. A front or 360 camera would be a nice future addition, too.

Lots of threads on this same subject here, by the way
