Honestly I have found none that even talk about the interior of either car.

That's odd, those reviewers on the mid 90's interiors must be on crack. Lets see, front seat room in 94 Mustang. Sucks. Fbody, spacious. Rear seat in Mustang. One leg lodged between front door and front seat, other on center console. Duck head. Fbody, legs kinda cramped, but still on floor and at 5'11" head still has plenty of clearance from roof.......
Shifter position also completely sucks in the Mustang and is awkward to operate. I drove a friends 99 5 speed car, I couldn't wait to stop driving it, not a lot of foot room.

But the 98 all had 350hp by the way...Its because of that it was killing a lot of cars. Now its the LS3 rated at 416, looks like the same story again; underrate a car so GM can say corvette has a better engine to the avg Joe..but int he end its same and exact engine!
of course the gap cant be always that high...but I think the new camaro will perform greatly with the LS3 under the hood with a 6 speeds. It will kick serious *** from the factory, I'm pretty sure.

The two listed above are from Car and Driver. They just happened to be listed on a Mustang fan site. I'm curious to way they're listed on that site though, considering the Mustang lost both comparissons. lol

I have noticed ALOT of "rated" HP numbers being thrown around. The ONLY numbers that matter are the ones that are put down on a dyno (power curve, not peak), and at the track 1/4mi, nurburgring, closed courses, etc. So until we get those, there really is no point in arguing and bench racing, which i have noticed, ricers and mustang owners are best at. 
Bench Racing does not win REAL races

Man, there goes GM, stealing a fundamental shape that ford created to make its air vent with... Cant those guys ever do something original?
They need to make their new air vents in the shape of an amoeba....

I'll probably be hated for this but my favorite American sports cars go in this order.
Ford GT > Viper GTS > Corvette z06 > 94+ Any model Mustang > 98+ F-body.

The weight of the Challenger, Mustang and Camaro is simply out of control. I may as well get a damn SUV instead.
These cars were intended to be small, light, economical performance coups when they were conceived.
I guess they forgot all about the small and light.
On the plus side, with the Camaro and Challenger you don't get that POS modular.

You guys are now arguing over the interiors of cars no longer in production.
If they were, my 03 Cobra was better than BOTH of my 99 and 02 SS's. IMHO.
The new Camaro should be great and lets HOPE they sell like the 05 GT's did. It sure does look like a heavy sob and the Cd looks like its going to be rather higher than the previous model so it may be only a hair faster than the 98-02's but could it really be slower..........?
Atleast they has the ***** to bring back a car from the dead, in case you forgot, nobody was buying F-bodies.
Just get a used LS2/LS3 C6 and call it a day. Serriously.

It is like two guys, one with gonorrhea and the other with syphilis arguing about who has the better STD.
I guess one could also say that the modular is like also having AIDS in addition to gonorrhea or syphilis.
