My brother used to own a MY1999 Camaro RS V6. I'll be honest and say that I never really liked that car. I always thought that the seating position was atrocious in that car - too low and I'm 5'11".

What has my interest in the V8. Ever since I drove a few GTO's last year I have been completely smitten by the 6.0L engine with a 6 speed manual. I had to drop the GTO from consideration due to its impracticality: fear of parts shortages from Australia, 1/2 sized trunk due to the gas tank, and the seat motors needed to gain access to the rear seats. I could still consider a used GTO in the future as a toy, but the lack of parts availability still worry me.

Enter the new Camaro. Should I expect discomfort and visibility similar to that of the Camaro IV or something better/different?

For me the GTO fit like a glove. Even the Mustang is fine; though the 4.6l doesn't hold a candle versus either the LS1 or the LS2 of the GTO.
