I had the chance to drive a 2020 Mustang GT PP1 M6 for a friend as he couldn't drive a stick at the time, and it just makes me appreciate the Camaro more.

The main thing I don't like is Getrash MT82. It feels like a family car manual transmission, while the TR-6060 feels a lot like my RX-8's manual transmission with mechanical feels, which is what I want in a sports car. That's not to mention the problems people have with Getrash.

The steering wheel is also a bit busy with buttons. I find the cruise control to be hard to use versus the Camaro.

I also like the fact that Camaro offers a HUD. The speedo in the Mustang isn't very easy to read for me(his car has the mechanical gauges, not the trick full LCD one).

And in general, I just like the Camaro package better: sports car chassis and handling with a very raw and American pushrod V8. Mustang has it backward: the chassis is not nearly as refined, and while I like the Coyote engine, I just prefer the characteristics of the LT1 more - more low-end grunt and brash, which fits the character of a pony car better. If it's a European or Japanese sports car, that would have been a bit different. A DOHC V8 would be a better suit there.

I recently watched Ford v. Ferrari. Kind of entertaining to watch Ken Miles roast Mustang in the movie, LOL.
