Not a dig at all, I appreciate hearing from others who were in the same position. So many people on forums are such diehard Chevy guys or Ford guys and couldn't ever objectively consider buying another brand, so it's tough to find people who are just looking at it all objectively.So I don't mean this to be a dig to you at all! But because you're evening asking this question makes me think the Camaro is better for you. The GT350 isn't really a bargain and when compared to the Camaro, even less so. So, unless the FPC engine /Shelby badge and styling is driving you to spend that $$$ on its own, I don't think you'll be happy with the decision. As others have said, there's plenty about the Camaro that works better day to day and will be a bigger benefit to you if you're not prioritizing the Shelby looks and engine note above all else (this all assumes track use isn't in your future).
I almost ordered the exact car you have before I secured my GT350 allocation, so I get where you're at. But for me, the engine and Shelby looks pulled me towards the GT350 (I could handle the heavier chassis, inferior interior, lack of tech, etc.). Though, to be fair, my car became a dedicated track car in 2 two years. YMMV
I would easily give the edge to the Shelby easily in terms of looks, and I've never really loved how my Camaro looks to be honest compared to the Mustang.
That Voodoo sound and feel is really so good that it makes the extra cost even worth considering. It's just tough for the rational side of my brain to justify another $20k on that type of intangible, is all. But, if we were rational, we'd all be driving Camrys instead
