The 5.0 is a very capable motor. They are easy to work on, and can be made very fast for not too much money. The z-28's are pretty fast off the show room floor, but, have you ever ridden in one? Or even driven one for that matter? They are about one of the most uncomfortable cars I have ever been in. There is a huge hill on the passenger side floorboard from where the cat sits. Every camero, from v6 to ss, that I have ever been in sounds like they are going to fall apart after the first year or two. For the most part, stangs hold up much better.
These are my opinions and only that. Dont let me sway your judgement. If you think you would be happier with a camero, by all means, get one. But when it cost as much to change the spark plugs as it would for an intake swap on a 5.0, you might kick your self in the back side. I have a friend who was quoted $400 by one shop, and told by another that they wouldnt do it because it wasnt worth the effort to them.
