The Challenger has terrible visibility out back. It wasn't as claustrophobic as the Camaro up front, but looking back, it has HUGE blind spots. I just hate the Camaro's interior altogether. It's just trash. Chrysler/Dodge have come up lately. Their interior quality is on par (and in some ways better than) with Ford's.

Well unless of course the GT350 is going to be the range topping Mustang for the S550 and Ford has/something else in mind for a Boss replacement to fill the gap between the FT and GT35

I'd rather Ford stick to its Boss formula offering a lot of bang for the buck. As cool as the Z/28 is its out of reach for a lot of its biggest fans. I would hate to see a ''cold war'' reaction from Ford with the GT350 receiving a similar treatment and costing 60 or 70 or 80 grand.

As for the Z/28, very impressive car but a bit too pricy.

And by glorified you mean much better. While sharing the same architecture the LS3 is an advancement over the LS1. Much more bore room, better cooling, cam phasing, better heads and super easy to make power. Even the LS2 supersedes the LS1 but is much closer to a glorified version than an LS3.
The LS2 is my current favorite pushrod engine for its robustness and price. No cam phasing but all the advances over an LS1. With proper stroke it can become a square 402. Easy to wrench on. Darn near perfect for a home mechanic.

Kinda but not really. The 4.8-7.0 is all the same motor basically. Lots of parts can be swapped between blocks. Such a great design.

I agree with this. That 6.0L is a great one. The earlier version, the better. The truck version 6.0L is a great motor also. Once they started with the cylinder killing, it got bad. Most of that can be swapped out for performance purposes though. Mainly the cam and lifters. It's a very simple and great design. If you tear one down, you can tear all of them down.
