Well that was quick.

Congrats man. Looks like the windows are pre-tinted? It looks great.

Need more photos!

Thanks from a possible future Mustang enthusiast...

The Mustang has better outward visibility than either of the other two, and is a good bit less 'bulky'.

Although the top-level Camaro has arguably equalled the Mustang as far as road course race-level handling goes, the S197 Mustangs have consistently had the most nimble handling "feel" of the three ponycars (and that's what you're more likely to notice in day to day driving).

Whatever you choose now and into the future, be it V6 or V8 Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, or other, try to keep "fun to drive" as one of your least negotiable requirements for whatever is available at the time. 30 years or so from now you'll be glad you did.
