A year ago I had a smart car, I sold that about 4 months later and bought a v6 challenger, I drove that about 4 months, then decided I needed the Hemi Challenger, so I bought an Rt. I knew I would only have the Rt a few months, since I ordered a Camaro in October.
Since I picked up the camaro, I love the look of the car but I find that I miss several things about my challenger.
1) the challenger is way bigger inside
2) the challenger has a nicer, softer ride
3) the challenger sits up higher, the camaro feels like my butt is sitting on the road
4) the challenger had a meaner, louder exhaust note to it. My neighbor used to hear me pull in the garage nightly, now he doesnt even hear me.
5) both the challenger and the camaro had the upgraded boston acoustics sound system and the challengers sounded way better.
6) the piece of plastic that goes from the drivers side window down to the dash board on the interior was popped out when i picked the car up, they popped it back in but it popped out again today when I was driving down the freeway and hit a tiny lil bump
ok thats it for my complaints about the camaro
the camaro seems to be a quicker car, but I havent been on it too hard, waiting for it to be broken in more.
I guess I just need to get used to it, I am sure it will grow on me.

Thx for the real world review. The R/T and SRT8 cars really are full size muscle cars, vs. pony-size cars, and are not trying to be sports cars. The Camaro is more nimble and quick, and takes to mods more readily, but you give up some comfort and convenience. It is all about what you are looking for in a car, can't go wrong either way.
