Having owned a 2011 5.0 for 5 months, I'm gonna have to disagree with most everything you said. Respectfully of course. The clutch in the mustang was amazing. The ride was very shaking and unsettled but it was surefooted and corned very well. The seats were very soft and I liked them quite a bit, although the camaro does fit better for me. My 5.0 only had the 3.31 gear and I'm pretty sure it would dust my camaro easily in stock form. And as for interior quality, the camaro is way behind the mustang. My mustang was a premium model and had a very nice interior for such an inexpensive car.

I have researched both of these cars and interior quality debate aside I was more comfortable in the camaro and it appeared more spacious (to me). At first I thought I was crazy because looking at the interior dimensions for the driver they are almost identical, but then I found two pictures of the interior and came to the conclusion that I wasn't crazy.
1. The console on the mustang is wider and sits closer to your right leg.
2. If you look at the left side the radio speaker pops out of the door and pops into your left legroom. The camaro's is in the door so it doesn't suffer from this problem.
3. The steering wheel on the mustang feels like it sits on your lap. I couldn't fix it by using the steering wheel tilt or putting the seat lower or farther back. If you look at both pictures you will see how much closer the mustang steering wheel bottom is to the seat than the camaros.
And to keep it objective....
The camaro had less headroom, but it was not enough to cause issues for me as long as i didn't get the sunroof. For some reason it seems that with the sunroof there is less headroom.
I also did not like the clutch travel on the camaro. God damn it feels like that pedal travels a mile before it hooks. Any way to adjust this or modify it?
Be thankful you have choices. Both are great cars. Chose the one that speaks to you. And if it literally starts speaking to you....then lay off the psychedelics.
