I was expecting the Mustang to be peppier but that wasn't my experience. And I definitely pushed it, several times. It felt more composed, and that was about the only thing I could find that I felt it truly excelled. The ride was a touch softer while still feeling capable in a turn. The interior was slightly better, but not a night-and-day thing. I really didn't like some of the controls, especially the layout of buttons for cruise, etc. After 8 days I was still hunting and having to look. We also got nagged by the radio to sync a phone, and to be "aware" of changing conditions (wtf? we were in the DESERT!! lol).

Overall I would be pleased with a 2015 Mustang as a daily driver, but didn't feel it was leaps and bounds better than the outgoing Camaro. If the new Camaro is any improvement, it's going to easily meet or top the 'stang in every category.

One thing I do have to say that the 6th gen Mustang beats the 5th gen Camaro in is visibility... Now that is night and day.
