But what I couldn't get over was how big it felt when I was driving it. For some drivers, that might be the reason to choose it over a Z. For me, the opposite.
I feel you on the Mustang's evolution up to this year. It's like the last 15-20 years of Mustang history should be thrown on the fire (with a few notable exceptions). I'm glad to see they're getting it back in the game, though.

I totally feel you on the size thing. I generally prefer cars like the Z due to weight and size. The camaro felt exactly the same way when I test drove it last year. Huge. I was dead set against the camaro as a sports entry. Then I decided to rent one. My reason was this. Car mags keep praisin it and due to my test drive... I didn't see it. But once I got 12 straight hours of driving in a camaro. I saw exactly what the car mags were saying.
The Z is a different breed so I won't compare as one experience being better than the other. I will just call them different. What I can say is, after a few hours the camaro doesn't feel as big as it does on the test drive. And without a salesguy in the passenger seat, you can really feel what that L99 can do. Its incredible.
