370z vs Camaro SS1LE

The main reason I have not seriously looked into the Camaro is the reported poor visibility. Well, that and GM's reputation for poor quality. I wonder how it really compares

I wonder how it really compares to the Z, with the dumbo ears mirrors, mostly useless 3/4 window, etc.

Anyone?

I guess I could go try one out for giggles. Don't think it's the car for me, though.

Well, it may have poor visibility but it is certainly better than ours

I personally do not care for the Camaro, it feels too 'big' inside - like I have to hold my arm way above my shoulder to even put it out the tank-like windows. Also it feels like I can barely see over the steering wheel with how the windshield / hood is designed, which is saying something because I am 6'1". When I worked for GM I got to borrow a 2013 SS/RS for a week and just couldn't get used to it. At least it was pretty quick in a straight line for weighing as much as a yacht

I owned a 2011 Camaro SS for three days. I hated it. Handled poorly, blind spots, just an overall big heavy car
