Why is he on the wrong forum? All of the things he stated are truths. Because you have brand loyalty or more likely, brand blindness, doesn't make the facts any less true.

In almost every way it's superior... Looks is objective, so it can't be measured
But it gets better gas mileage
It's faster in a straight line (both v6 and v8)
More engine options at the moment
It's got more horsepower per liter
Ford didn't need to be saved by the gov't like chevy
Ford sells more than the chevy name brand (though this isn't true when you lump together all GM sales compared to ford & lincoln)
It's never been discontinued like the Camaro
Price is very similar
If it handles any worse, it's not saying much for the Camaro without added suspension/steering componets like the 1LE, because our cars handle like shit. So if handling is something a potential buyer wants, both the Camaro and Mustang are off the table without aftermarket parts or upgrading to a special version like the 1LE.

I have bought cars on the performance instead of the badge many times.
To the last part of your statement, I went in blind before purchasing my 1LE, I hadn't had a hobby car since my 2001 Formula, which I sold in 2010.
I drove a 2015 A6 Mustang with the Performance Package and a 2015 2SS M6, and debated for a week, before the 1LE I had been eyeballing finally showed up at the dealer.
Stock for stock, the SOTP feel for power was dead nuts, the handling, also very close ( not great by any argument for either one), BUT I took from that exchange that the Performance Pack on the mustang "should've" made it handle better IMO.
Then.....I drove the 1LE, and it was a no brainier, it was hands down a better handling ride than the Mustang and in the same price range.
I love the look of both of the 15's and your choice either way, as long as it makes you happy, is a good one.
