All 3 of those cars are extremely cool. The only way you can knock a Boss 302 is if you are Mustang hater. They are sweet. Sorry you let go of the FRC but by all means keep that sweet 75 vert!

I know you've sold your NB Corvette already, but from the pic it looks like you had the same deep-dish version of the C6 Z06 wheels that I'm looking at for my 2000 coupe. If that is the case how did you like those wheels? Were they easy to care for, and were they really chrome or just a clear-coated polished aluminum?

Being a die hard bowtie Chevy guy ... I'd buy a new Mustang before I would a new Camaro. Exterior of Camaro is OK but the interior - mainly dash / gauges is 'fugly' ! plus you can't see out of a Camaro except the windshield - the A pillars are like tree trunks with a big blind spot out back and C pillar ... I love the '13 Shelby GT500 but damn they're expensive !
I'll stick with my C5 vert for max fun for me !

Great trade off. The new Boss 302 could quote possibly be the best Mustang ever made.
