So glad you went with the Mustang. I had a 2010 V6 2LT. I added an OEM HUD unit on my own - the only feature I wish I could get in the Mustang.

While I liked the interior of the Camaro, all you have to do is look at it and it will scratch. It's also near impossible to see out of. There are more after market parts coming out and there are some really dedicated folks who come up with some neat retrofits (that's how I was able to add the HUD).

However, the Mustang is so much better in all ways. From what I can tell from spy shots, GM hasn't done enough with the 2016 Camaro to make it much better. It looks like a facelift from what I can tell. I've driven the 2015 Mustang and I absolutely love it.

BTW - look at the rear quarter panels of any used Camaro - in front of the rear tires. You won't find one without major chipping. It's impossible to have really good paint and can drive a perfectionist, like me, insane.

BTW the Z/28 isn't made to be a daily driver. The DD version is the ZL1, the competitor to the GT500.

Congrats on your new ride!!

Good for you! The 13-14 is the best recent body style for the s197. Never was a fan of the 10-12, too much unpainted plastic on the bottom for my taste.

I'm sure you'll be happy with the car for a while.
