There are MAYBE a handful of bad trans's from 2011 that started this feeling. But the real deal is way more bad drivers. People not understanding how to properly shift and drive a manual V8 muscle car. I had (2) 2011 GTs, a 2012 GT and a 2014 GT all with the MT82. Never had one issue with the almost 100k miles spread across all those cars I owned. Those trans's are not gods gift to racing, but I've had my share of shit trans's with other cars as well. A nice shifter and some solid trans mounts completely fixes any lock out problem you could have.
Now Im sure there are bad MT82s out there, but I can almost guaranty they are caused by bad drivers.
Just as "visibility" might be an issue in the camaro if you are 4'11" or 6'8". But for the majority of normal sized adults, you can see out fine. Not about getting that large coke from McDonalds through the window at the drive threw...

That is a fair point, by my own standards the valve springs issue should've taken the Camaro out of the running for me.
That said, it is an emotional thing and my first car was a Camaro, so I was naturally drawn to the camaro.
I have nothing against mustangs, my parents are mustang people, but I've been a Camaro guy. I'd have no problem buying a ford, i tend to think Chevy makes more comfortable interiors, but I like fords just as well.
MY last car was an Acura, I've no loyalty, these massive globo-companies have no loyalty to us.
