I own a 2013 Challenger R/T, and to be honest I don't know how you don't love the car? I think it's a splendid vehicle. It's a slowpoke compared to the SS, 5.0 and the 370z, but the thing is will you see those cars at every light? The 370 looks marvelous but to just give up on your R/T seems a little harsh, have you took off the resonators? Added headers or cams? The Challenger is slow but not that slow, just cause the above mentioned cars are 2 car lengths ahead of you doesn't mean your car is a slug. I can honestly say I crave more power at times, but then I'm reminded that the Challenger is quick for it's size and it provides me with the most comfortable driving. On top of that I don't get confused for a jackass in a 5.0 or a muchacha in a Camaro. If I have a kid on accident, I won't sweat it, the challenger can fit a baby seat easily. I'd wait until the 2015 Challenger is unveiled, there's going to be engine changes and a brand new interior. My brother is getting a 370z that's why I joined this forum, but from an R/T owner don't give up on your pig, the pig is vastly different from other vehicles, don't let people get in your head about horsepower. The RT was never in the game to win races, get an SRT Core or Super bee for 35k and call it a day.

You won't see a 370 at every light. I'm happy to see one once a week.

I only know of 3 other Z's between my town and where I work 16 miles away. Two of them are actually 350s, and mine's the only NISMO.

It may seem stupid but that's probably the biggest reason I didn't get a 5.0 Mustang instead; there are just too damn many of them around. This coming from a Mustang fan, too. The 'Stang is undoubtedly the faster car and the reason it's selling like hotcakes is because it's brilliant. But somehow the Z is cooler.
