Torn between 2011 Camaro and 2011 Mustang GT, Someone help me decide

Ya'll who have had your 5th Gen Camaro for a while, how do you like them? Theres been a lot of bad reviews as far as visibility from inside, and the interior feeling "Cheap".

How do ya'll feel about them. I'm going next week to test drive an SS and a 5.0 GT.

I know americanmuscle .com is exclusive for mustangs, I was just wondering if theres a good website exclusive for the new Camaro's or not. So if anyone knows a good website for Camaro stuff let me know. I know JRE Performance is a nice website for a broad range of cars. I definitely want to put an aftermarket cam in. Anyone seen this Camaro? I'm sure some of you have.

Interior talk is a load of crap, but the visibility thing is not. A little tough getting your bearings for the first few weeks, but once you're used to using your mirrors, it's all good.

I love our 5th gen to death, the only thing left to be desired is exhaust note, but have a listen to what $180 will get you in that department... (warranty intact)

Thanks All she has is a Magnaflow Tru-Flow Xpipe+resonator/muffler delete... The sound is surprisingly adept. Sounds good, but not loud at idle. When you wind her up she really speaks though, and there is virtually no drone. Tune, CAI, shorties to follow soon

Show Off!!

LOL

I love my 2010! I have a 2000 Mustang, granted 10 years difference but even then I had friends with 4th gen Camaros and they were so much better IMHO. Their interiors thought not the best were better than my mustangs. I regretted not getting a Camaro 10 years ago.

This will be my first car I buy, plus my first Muscle Car. I'm leaning toward the Camaro like crazy since my dad knows the LS3 inside and out, that way I don't have to pay someone for labor if I want to install a new cam or maybe some headers.

Hey man, if you can get free labor on your LS3, that's a big selling point right there!

I will. It seems like header options cost almost 3 times more for the camaro rather than the mustang. Do ya'll think thats maybe because the Camaro is newer?
