I had the same decision, I test drove the Shelby but bought the Camaro. Frankly, I thought the Shelby was too fast for the street, and wouldn't have been as good as a DD. No traction, and power you can't really use is sort of worthless. The clutch was kind of heavy, but I havent tried the newer Shelbys so that may have changed. If I was shopping for a race car that was street legal I might have chosen differently, but I wanted a DD.
Just make sure you test drive it, and buy what you prefer because they are both great cars, but remember that there are other things you can do with the money you save.
