Thanks for the wishes guys, as time goes on I'll update this with thoughts of differences between the two cars but let me start with this.
Size - The S550 is smaller than the SS. It looks like an optical illusion, but it's definitely lower in height. The SS feels like a much smaller vehicle...
Just got home from taking delivery of my 2015 GT with PP/Nav. She's silver with the ebony interior.
Ever since I sold the 2013 5.0 I've missed it, and missed rowing the gears. So the opportunity presented itself to add a car, and keep my existing sports sedan (2014 Chevy SS)...
You guys are right, forgot about the GTO. DOH! I always wanted one. But thinking back, the GTO was quite a bit pricier than the 'Stang at the time. I looked at one. Don't hate me though, I own a Holden (Chevy SS)
Welcome back man. I too am a 'Vette guy going to pick up a S550 today. There's really no comparison between the cars except that I'd stress every time I went somewhere in the Vette because of issues like you just had. They're great weekend cars, but I can't stomach buying a new one and...
Camaro stopped selling in 2002. From 2003-2008 there wasn't any other 2 door muscle car on the market. In 2009 the Camaro SS put out 426 HP compared to 305 in the GT 4.6, which was rectified in the 2011 MY with the 5.0. Also starting late 2008 there was also the Challenger that put out (IIRC)...
Congrats man, glad you're into the car that makes you happy. The Challenger looks darn good and I just spent the weekend in a rental 2015 Charger. Love that car as well. FCA puts out some darn fine cars.
I'm a hardcore Chevy fan, but I'm not going to wait for the 6gen Camaro. If they didn't address the visibility and short windows I don't want it. Of course I've always thought the Mustang had a more upright and taller seating position that I prefer.
The 5th gen Mustang wasn't even serious...
Thought I'd chime in here as well. I sold my '13 GT last year (purchased new) and just stopped by to see the 15's. Wasn't really expecting to like them, and was kind of hoping I wouldn't, but instead I'll be picking one up tomorrow. (GT Prem PP)
Inside the car felt larger, the interior...
