I went by the local Ford dealer because a friend works there. He showed me the new Bullitt edition @ $ 51000 sticker, without Recaros . I went home and looked at my 1SS 1LE and thought , the Camaro has it all over that car.
If you absolutely have to have a usable trunk , maybe the Mustang is your car. |

"Livable", "better as a DD", "easier to live with"...these all just seem like blanket statements people make these days. Between these two cars, the Mustang is NOT significantly better than the Camaro as far as space, visibility, etc. Not enough that it should sway any decision unless that was the final decision. It's all in people's minds. I wrote about this before so I'll just re-cap. As far as visibility, the Camaro has more than you actually need. It's just that the Mustang and other cars have more. So it seems like the Camaro doesn't have enough visibility when it actually does. The Camaro can't win every contest. I think it does win more than the Mustang. But every now and then Ford does something that sways the vote in their favor. Do I think the Mustang is a better car than the Camaro? No. But I do think that Ford made enough drastic changes to the Camaro's relatively unchanged setup that Ford deserved the win. Does any of this take away from the Camaro? No. |

Then how would you describe the size of the Mustang trunk? Gigantihugelynormous? It's much bigger than the Camaro.

Everyone is different, and I'm sure there are plenty of people that haven't been able to transport certain items that they would like to due to the small trunk opening, but in my day-to-day I have yet to encounter anything personally, that I haven't been able to fit. |

The seats are very cheap too and already are pretty wavy from the factory and start to crumble within 1 or 2 years of driving the car. Yeah the Camaro has a bit more hardplastic on the dashboard, but on the important parts (armrest, steering wheel, seats, basically everything you actually have to touch) the quality of the Camaro is far ahead. On a sidenote, the body alignment of S550 Mustangs is laughable, even with the refresh. I saw of lot Mustangs with horrible gaps under the headlights (you could even put your fingers in, so big were some gaps), rear fenders that don't match the body at the rearpanel, crooked rear windows, misaligned hoods, etc.

This won't changes most peoples minds but, I feel the 19' ZL1 is hard to beat for performance, tech, price and overall interior comfort compared to others in the same category.

This.
BTW, starting with the 1967 model year, no one ever bought a Camaro (or a Mustang, or a Challenger, or a 'Cuda) for luggage space. Just sayin'...
