There is no better Camaro. For those who drive for function, the automatic transmission will always be more consistent, but manual transmission proponents will always proclaim that their car is more fun to drive. Both are 6.2L V8s, and both will have equal access to tuning software that will allow users to make them hit similar performance numbers when using the same afermarket components. Each has mainstream aftermarket manufacturers building parts, and the internals match. Even if it were possible to argue that one would have slightly better track numbers in an ideal match, the other could just as easily win the next race. In all truth, they are such an even match when the same parts are applied that there is no difference in performance.
If you're going to compare the two Camaros, then it all comes down to discussing the transmission. Is a flywheel better than a torque converter? Which company makes the best part that would create a significant gap when compared to the other car? In order to tell, we'd need to test two identical Camaros except for their transmissions.
At the end of all of this analysis, it comes down to miniscule differences, begging a question: which one would you rather drive? That's all the really matters.
