Any pictures/links ...
Just don't push to like something you are not sure about. That goes with both cars options and colors.

Look further like others are saying to get your 2SS or whatever

I feel like you made another one of these threads on a Mustang forum somewhere.

Unbiased opinion? That's about impossible for me (and most others here). Of the two cars you mentioned, I wouldn't buy either for the following reasons:

1. I don't care for Mustangs
2. I wouldn't buy a 5 year old Camaro or any other car

If they were both new, I'd buy the Camaro without a second thought... but I AM biased.

Ive never been on a mustang fourm. IDK which fourm is the best active fourm like this website. The mustang is grabber blue, 39k miles 2013 manual.

I found another camaro just now. 2010 manual black with 29k miles. Im seeing if they will match the price.

The SS I have tried. if any of you dont believe me, check for yourself. Houston and 30 miles radius or so. 23k is my limit on cash down. I got nothing. I found a private guy with a 1SS but I want a 2SS
You gave yourself a 30 mile radius? I live in Houston and almost bought a ss in Louisiana but found one in Houston. Your not willing to drive more than thirty minutes for a car?

When I was shopping I had it on a 250 mile radius.

75 mile radius I found 4 in 5 minutes.

I had thought I read it somewhere but turns out the GT500 has the TR-6060, my bad. I didn't realize the regular GT had the Getrag.

You have to drive them both! The Mustang and the Camaro have different quirks. There may be a quirk in the Mustang you just can't live with.

Below is just my opinion:
Since you haven't driven a manual - get the Camaro.
Want to learn to drive a manual and replace the clutch in a year or less - get the Mustang

And whichever one you get make them change ALL the fluids! Trans, coolant, brake, power steering, differential, etc. Does not matter on the mileage - these are getting in that year 5 range.
He won't have to replace the clutch in a year if he uses a mustang to learn on. We bought my wife a brand new wrangler, first manual car she ever owned, clutch is just fine one year later.

Everything is negotiable, they may or may not come down to what you want, but it never hurts to try.
