Interesting review, I guess the t-shirt is supposed to be a joke? Or maybe not... ;)

My Summary; That guys a douche....Summary:
Tech pack electronics are outdated and lame (no car play, no android auto)
Interior is worse than new Camaro
Clutch Sucks
Steering has three modes (all bad I guess, he never really said but his tone conveyed his dismay)
Brake is over boosted
Shifter is fragile
Engine is good though, but FPC is gimmick
If you like attention it's the car for you.
It's the cool and hot car now, but the Camaro ZL1 will eat the GT350's lunch.
I will agree that the clutch is off-putting to many (although I've grown to like it) and that the shifter could use some improvement in certain positions (but I don't think it feels flimsy).

Big difference with the 5.2 Aluminator XS is that it doesn't have to meet emissions regulations as a crate motor. If the 5.2 FPC had that bonus, and considering most consider it to be slightly underrated as is, and had more aggressive interals/cams like the Aluminator, you can bet your ass it would make more power than the XS.Based on "Camaro vs. Everybody", he loves Camaros. So therefore his goal is to sound as objective as possible while telling people the Camaro is better. Most of the Camaro trolls around here say the regular Camaro is probably better than the GT350 - at least he didn't try to make that claim.
I do agree that the Voodoo is a great engine but the FPC is a bit of a gimmick. If Ford had set up the engine with two separate intake tracts and got the crank weight down below 40 lbs, then I would disagree that it was a gimmick. However, with only a few pounds saved over the Coyote and with an aftermarket 5.2 CPC crate motor already available that makes more power and has the same redline - the FPC became a bit of a gimmick. I know that probably isn't a popular view here, but IMO it is true. Still doesn't take away that it's the best engine/car package I've ever owned and much better than anything I've driven in a similar price point or up to ~ double the cost.
