I was hoping that they would have a manual as I'm contemplating buying a 1ss Manual but it doesn't sound like they will get any manual camaros. Budget offers lots of manual cars which is very surprising. I've rented a manual scat pack multiple times from them.

That's a great price for a 7 day rental. Budget is very cheap when it comes to sporty cars. Be sure to tell us how you like the Mustang! It would be awesome if they would rent GT350's but I doubt they ever will. I talked to a manager once who said they had a hellcat in Kansas City but decided not to rent it and the manager up there just drove it.

What state? All Budgets I've seen only have auto's to rent.

Another option to rent manual potentially is Toro.

Kansas. I'm sure It's up to each budget location if they want to buy autos or manuals. I think where I live they want to save a few bucks on some of these cars so they buy the manual version over the auto.

A performance pack 18 is on another level handling wise to a base GT. I have test driven 17 1ss to 18 GT base PP. I’d take the stang.

You might be the only person I have ever seen say the PP1 handles better than an SS.

He is.

Your review is close to mine I had (and posted here) when I was between the 1LE I now have and a 2018 GT.

You’re nuts, dude. I used to be die-hard Mustang fan and have driven all the S197 and S550 GTs. None of the Mustang GT offerings are up to the 6G Camaro’s chassis and suspension. I can’t speak to the PP2, yet, but I’m willing to be it still lacks to the Camaro. Ford just does not care to tune to the performance level Chevy does. Camaro starts where Mustang starts with aftermarket suspension, but properly engineered.

Nowhere did he say that so...

It's implied.

You're reaching. He said, having test driven both he'd choose the Mustang. His reasons were not given and you are making the assumption that the Mustangs better handling was the basis for that decision.

Conjecture.

You may want to go re-read what he said. He implied the GT handled better.

Obviously. I think he just gets bored and tries to argue
