Mustang Owner Yearning for a Camaro...

Hello Everyone!

Well being that this is my first post, I will have to introduce myself properly:

My name is David, and I'm a Mustang-aholic....(who is considering switching sides. )

I have been the proud owner of a 2007 Mustang GT for over 2.75 years. She is a garage queen with only 8,900 miles on her. I ordered her to the EXACT specifications that I wanted. She is as perfect a Mustang as I could have imagined. I have even built an old one in the past (pic attached).

Subsequently, I have been following the Camaro's development (and lurking on your site) for nearly the same amount of time. And I have to tell you, I am really loving this car. I, as maybe one of the few, am not a Ford loyalist, Chevy Bashing, moron. I respect all Muscle Cars and love that the pony wars are back (even though they may not last as long this time). I am considering trading in my passion for something new and out of the box for me, and it seems that the Camaro is hitting all the right chords....except 1.

I can't decide what I want! The fact the V6 has the same amount of horses as my Ford v8??? That's awesome! I could buy a totally loaded 2LT/RS for a little under what I paid for the Mustang and have nearly the same amount of power...... BUT, for a little more money, I can have a monster..... BUT may not be able to afford the fully decked out deal in the 2SS trim.

I am struggling with the idea of settling. I do not want to trade what is perfect for something that is close. I want the 2LT appearance with the bigger engine, but I can't have both without shelling out for it.

I guess I am reaching out to your community and asking for some guidance. Maybe some suggestions. I have test drives scheduled in the next week at my dealership to feel both out and decide from there. Have any of you driven both? What is your thoughts?

Thank you all so much for your help. Whew...switching factions has got to be harder than coming out of the closet.
