Might as well test drive them. They are good cars.
I would not consider a 19, as it's hideous, but an 18 would be a far better choice.
I have plenty of seat time in both the SS and the GT on the street and track (17 GTPP and 16 SS). Here are a few of my thoughts.
I prefer the looks of the Mustang, as well as the ergonomics.
The SS out of the gate is better balanced but with squared up tires on the Mustang it was significantly better and the two did not drive too dissimilar (both squared up).
The steering was faster in the Camaro (prefer) and the steering wheel was smaller (didn't care either way).
The LT1 was stronger than the second gen Coyote but they are pretty similar now for the 3rd gen.
The LT1 gave me little confidence as that particular car had several issues including oil leaks, no starts, slow crank, and a miss when cold. I also was present when another SS oil starved in a turn, blew the engine and caught fire on track.
The brakes seemed much better on the Mustang, even though the Camaro had fixed rears.
The fit and finish was a little better on the Camaro overall, but it wasn't much better.
