Congrats, Camaros have a great value to what you get as far as performance, and the performance of 1LE is very impressive, enjoy your ride.

-Cooled seats, (I live in Texas) -Wi-Fi ready without paying $500 -Dual mode exhaust that actually sounds like something. -cell charger. (Novelty) -The Camaro does not have 3D camera but it has front & back cameras. - forward collision warning -intelligent cruise control. All amazing features on the Q, but features that I don't absolutely need. THE Q is gorgeous though. The Camaro is not... lol. I think it's crazy how in the end, I was comparing the Q to a Camaro. Who woulda thunk it?

Over here, 2SS Camaro without 1LE package costs around USD 64k. The fully loaded Q60RS is a tad cheaper, around 60k.
And I have both FCW and ACC as well as active lane keeping assist in the charger, I disabled all of them as they annoy me sometimes, some technologies aren't good for city driving. And I am like you when I want to buy a car, I just mix a very wide type of cars to decide.

How do you find the interior quality, the hard plastics and the sort? When I first looked at them several years ago I was turned off hard by the cheapness. Have they gotten better over the years or is it a sacrifice? Hard to imagine the interior feels coming close to the Q. The rest of the car intrigues me, but those first experiences left a bad taste...

As a whole... the car interior feels like a luxury cars of 5 years ago in quality. Considering I'm paying $51,000 that will have acceleration and top speeds of a Porsche Cayman GT4 and get 1.2g's of grip for $45,000 brand new? The tiny bit of visible plastic that may not be the most visually pleasing is miniscule. The Camaro is a quality vehicle. Bold colors, great quality leather. Attention to detail on the baseball stitching. Beautifully lit and organized gauges, SUPER HIGH QUALITY button feel, intuitive my link, 53" ride height, and 52" with lowering springs. Corvette engine Corvette grand sport suspension Excellent seating position. Good steering feedback... I mean... the Camaro is hard to beat. Remember, I had a budget of up to $130,000 at first. Then lowered it to 90,000. I'm not saying the Camaro ended up being the best car, or best looking. But it has a balance of sport and muscle that's unique and truly mind blowing. It feels more natural to go from a Z to a Camaro, than to a Mustang if you are upgrading performance. The difference between the corvette and Camaro is not so distant, that I had to jump into a more expensive vette. It really is a complete package. The Camaro is a car you rent for a week to fall in love with it. IT GROWS ON YOU. Put this here for reference. Down to the Wire Test Drives: Infiniti Q60RS vs CamaroSS

Reading up on the Camaro I found this... I didn't realize they added launch control to the auto...

Changing your mindset is hard when you're used to something. It was hard for me to make a decision. I had to bring myself to a state of neutrality. I had to think of what I was looking for in my next vehicle and accept that the Camaro had it all. Now... that said. I'm most likely buying a used nismo to build out. This will be my N/A MOD. But after being in a Z for 6 years. I want to try something different. N the Camaro is pretty crazy. It feels waylighter than 3700lbs. But it doesn't feel light either. But I was a Lil shocked at how hard I can take that thing around corners. Like a GTR, It defies logic due to its size. If you're looking for a unique driving experience and you're looking for something DIFFERENT from what you know? It's a great car.

Unknown, congrats! Haven't logged in for a bit. Going through the big ugly D word. No, settle down guys, Magic Mike and breakaway pants are not the D you're thinking. I hope. Lol. Anyway, great decision. Bang for the buck it's impossible to do better in every metric IMO, especially the most important-passenger seat air bag sensitivity. I kid. Enjoy it my friend.
