Ditched my camaro order for the Z!

ZNewb - did you get a chance to test drive the Camaro SS? I've been tossing the idea around in my head but I'm concerned that the size, weight, and handling of the Camaro will turn me off. It would be interesting to get thoughts from someone that has driven both the Z and Camaro.

A sub 5 sec 0-60 and massive 6.2L V8 is attractive but a recent test pitted the Mustang GT against the Camaro and both drivers commented on somewhat lazy response and a lot of understeer with the Camaro - the Mustang had the advantage in the corners. The last time I drove a Mustang GT I was definitely not impressed with its handling and so if the Camaro is worse...I dunno.
