Actually, no. As much praise as the car gets in magazines and anything you read online, it's real life expectations were a little disheartening.
1) Size. It's smaller. I'm a tall guy and I always fit in a Camaro. This one was pushing it with the move to the Alpha chasis.
2) Blind spots. Holy crap, it's bad, if not worse than the last gen.
3) Tons of nice features, some I can live without on the 2SS. You're in Corvette territory just about with the price on these things.
4) DI and high compression. It's like the FR-S all over again. Your dream of supercharging and turbocharging is limited without some E85 and some damn good tuning.
Positives? Amazing track car. If I were buying this purely for the track, I'd be in real good shape. It's a monster there. Rougher ride than most cars, but not impossible. Chevy tuned this thing just right to be a road course car.
What car am I actually looking at? 2017 Mustang GT Premium in Lightning Blue.
Much more of a practical on the street driven car. The 5.0 Coyote uses PI so tuning is a breeze and the block can handle some serious turbos and superchargers. Rear end just needs work for the wheel hop. Stock for stock, the Camaro wins. Modded Mustang GT vs Camaro SS, even modded, much closer. I also approve of the look of the Mustang because I have to look for badge placement on the new Camaro to recognize if it's a Gen5 or Gen6.
Just my two cents. Both cars will throw you back in your seat, more than any car I've driven in years. It's amazing how these cars have gone from drag racers to sport coupes.
