Cool vid! I'm in that quandary. I'm 95% on the Camaro - driven the T-4. Will drive the 6 and 8 this week

Plus: Handling. Amazing. T4 was really fast surprisingly and really smooth. Interior altho cramped was nice. Available sunroof - LOVE sunroofs!

Minus: Visibility - although I've been driving the Tribeca with the visors down which gives much worse visibility than the Camaro. Guess what? wasn't a big deal at all

Mustang. Drove the GT (fast but not mind numbingly so). Jiggly ride. Not planted.
The EcoBoost was a POS. Fast but rough engine. What were they thinking?

Plus: Price. Lots cheaper than the SS and 2SS. Visibility slightly better but really not that much so

Minus: Handling wasn't great, wasn't as fast as I would have thought, no sunroof option and I hate convertibles. EcoBoost was crappy

Anyhow there you go. Looking more like the Camaro esp when I try the 6 and 8, considering how nice I thought the T4 was.

Jeeze, I ALMOST went through the exact same thing except I test drove the GT a few days before.

The auto is great! It feels fast but the power delivery more smooth than the M6. I actually drove the M6 first and that sh*t was just raw power banging gears.. Funny tho I only took it to 3.8k rpms

Cool real world review. Obviously the guy doing most of the talking wasn't real familiar with the two cars and made a lot of comments that were only pretty close to accurate, which to me seemed like a more accurate review of two random guys looking at two cars.

Cool review. His sentiments I felt were fairly accurate. You guys got a few things wrong as far as options go like the exhaust being just cosmetic and stuff.

The mustang feels raw. Thats why I liked my s197. It frankly at times was just out of control fun (see your local C&C). The Camaro is much more refined in that sense. But the ride on the Camaro trumps that of the Mustang. The TR6060 is a superior transmission in everyway and the gear box feels great.

i happened to fast forward to the part where he said the mustang perhaps has better handling

I've owned both. The mustang was awesome. Loved that car, but the Camaro 1LE is a totally different animal. MUCH BETTER IMO.

Mustang was incredible looking.
