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.

Wait until next year with the stang gets the 400hp 5.0 motor, then make your choice. I love the Z and all but you sound like you are on the fence between a muscle car and sports car. Just saying for you it might be better to wait just a bit longer so you can check out the new stang. It'll have the 400hp similar to the camaro but will be slightly lighter than the 370z (current GT is at 3350lbs). While cornering in the stang won't be nearly as good as the Z, the extra power might be enough to sway you. Just food for thought.
