As I type this I have been shopping for a NA toy car (vert) for 2 years and keep flip flopping between a daily PP2 stang with some visual mods to make it look meaner or a well used 911.

Yeah, good points, all of them. I saw your reply as I was researching ported heads, Cam, and other mods to shift the LT1 6500 RPM redline to 7200. 5600 is a bit low to make peak power in my opinion as well. But there is plenty of aftermarket support, so that's another plus. The stock rev limit on my Gen1 Coyote was 6800, which I quikly raised to 7200 rpm. Way better. It sounded happy.
I faced the same choice in 2013 between the Camaro and the Mustang. I went with Mustang because the Gen5 Camaro was even more atrocious looking. Now I'm ready to try the other choice, as I've never been a fan of the S550 looks.
And I hear a lot of people complain about visibility, but I've driven a few flavors of the Gen 6 Camaro, and it didn't strike me as a limiting factor. Of course when I scrape the wheels parking it, I will complaint then I'm sure.
