Granted I haven't driven one on track yet, but the visibility, seating position, etc of the GT350 was much better. And the sound of that motor at 8,200RPM is pretty damn awesome. Turn in and grip of the GT350 is pretty damn amazing. Turn in is about as sharp and quick as the BRZ which is crazy considering it's massive bulk.


I just don't have the cash for one with the markups and shit and even at MSRP that would be more than I want to spend on a car.
I agree with the visibility on the camaro but it's not a deal breaker for me GM obviously did a great job on the chassis and the suspension (especially on the Z28) I know two guys both own a 1LE (one of them did a complete Z28 conversion) and another guy with a Mustang GT (not the new one).. IMO, both GT350 and the newer Camaros have their pros and cons.. push rod LS engines are also good for making great torque and lower center gravity, turn in is also great on the Camaro 1LE and the Z28 so I am pretty sure it has to do with the square setup and the sophisticated suspension setup they have been advancing for years..it will be a tough choice when the time comes
