Kind of stating the obvious but muscle cars and sports cars really are two very different things, even though the general American public lumps them together. I am confident in saying the Z is of higher build and materials quality than the Challenger but that may not be enough for you if a spots car is not your thing.

That being said, I absolutely love my Roadster. The road noise is not that bad though I understand the Coupes have more problems with road debris noise from the wheel wells than the Roadsters do. As a previous owner of 2 Miatas my Z is smooth and quiet in comparison. And nothing compares to finding a twisty patch of road. It would be better still if I had some driving training and felt comfortable pushing the car closer to it's limits.

In the end if you need a back seat, large trunk and smoother ride you will probably be unhappy with the Z after the newness wares off. If you really don't need the larger car and want something fun to drive then I think you would love the Z, loud or not.
