Not to shy away from GM products, but I would pick a new 5.0 Mustang any day of the week before thinking of a newer Camaro.

Ditto...

Oh its got some blind spots alright. I had no issues looking around in the Shelby. If you don't plan on making multiple Laguna Seca laps any time soon, the stock brakes work just dandy, got to test them a couple times.

GT500 might seem a bit more harsher for a daily driver, but it was built to be a sports car...a Camaro with a big 6.2 and 400+ ponies should not handle like a 1990s crown vic. Thats were GM failed, awesome potential for motor, good brakes...craaaappy suspension.

Did you miss the part about the Camaro pulling higher g's and being faster in the corners than the Ford?? Or is this the conclusion you came to on a test drive in the back lot? Or maybe it wasn't a ZL-1 that you drove....
Blind spots be dammed....
