There are things you get used to doing while using the Camaro as a daily driver, like moving your head forward to see the street light if you pull up to the normal stopping point designated by the county. Backing up into a street with cars going faster than 40mph was pretty scary since you can't see through the very large rear pillar over your shoulder. You get used to this but once you go back to a "normal" interior with "average" visibility all of this becomes apparent. As Matt said, visibility is a big problem with the Camaro when it is compared to its competition. Can that be fixed...no..At least not until the sixth generation Camaro is released. Reviews that put down the interior are valid ones when they talk about visibility. I personally liked the old school look of the interior of the Camaro. I don't need all the gadgets and gizmo's which is why I ordered a plain Jane 1SS.. However the interior of the new Mustang 5.0 is a major improvement in functionality over the SS. The little cover for the cup holder is one example that I can think of while the lumbar support is another. The area above the rear view mirror is not blacked out, you can see through it above the mirror adding to the visibility. The rear-view mirror is smaller to boot on the 5.0. These are real life comparisons that not even Matt talked about but I can because I did use the Camaro and am using the 5.0 as my daily driver. Did I enjoy driving the Camaro SS for a year? Yes I did, even though it had shortcomings, it was fun to drive. However, it is a more pleasant experience to drive the Mustang 5.0 on a daily basis just as many reviewers have also said,not only Matt. Also, the pedal's are too far apart making heel to toe very difficult while driving stick. In a Stang it is like most other vehicles, easy to do.

What's with all the drama? He didn't ask all Mustang guys to leave, he asked all Mustang guys to be respectful. A lot of them aren't.
And it's funny how you can write a wall of text about the interior differences, but don't say a thing about the SRA vs. IRS. I don't know about you, but if I wanted a pain in my ass every time I drove my muscle car, I'd get married.
