Yes I drove the Z as well. The Z is very linear and handles almost identical to the Mustang albeit a little more razor sharp. Although the Mustangs steering is superb and seriously you can not tell that it has a live axle. The biggest problem with the Z is the lack of torque it feels even less torquey than the 350 which to me was a dissapointment. The engine gets buzzy in the higher range. The mustang has a smoother ride than the Z which again with the live axle was and is very unexpected. I think the reason I like the Mustang the best out of all 3 be it the Z, Camaro and stang is that it does the best balancing act of everything I need. It's fun, fast and a really good handiling car with a sweet v8 but it has all the amenities plus some that the Z has with a real nice interior, but it can also be used. The trunk , storage and back seats make it more usable then the other two. The mustnag for me has more usable trunk space a navigation, a nicer interior but still offers comparable handiling to the Z and comparable acceleration to the Camaro

im in the market for a camaro... CGM 1SS (need cloth) i am pretty sold on it but i have to say even the base interior on the 2010 V6 mustang has the camaro's SS interior beat; the rear ends are about the same to me, they both look weird but in a cool way

They had to use a funnel because the noise was so weak.

unless you mean sick as in "I just threw up a little in my mouth" sick, I dont think they look good at all... definitely a bigger fan of the 2005-2009 models.

I've ridden in a Camaro SS. You can definitely hear the engine in the cabin during acceleration.

Isn't the Mustangs engine noise piped into the cabin?

Listen bro if that's where your heart lies then do it. I have put all four through the paces and for me Mustang was the best all around. I am not discounting any of the others Z, chally or maro just for what I want and like the Stang fits the bill perfectly. Don't get a car and then after the fact decide you got the wrong one.
