Now this was a SRT and not the Scat Pack so it had the magnetic ride control which I believe gives it extra firmness in sport mode. The challenger liked to chirp the tires more but that can be attributed to the smaller tires, the camaro felt just as fast, if not faster, but didn't break the tires loose as often. I think it comes down to personal preference and your intended use, obviously a Challenger has more room and the smaller/ lighter Camaro handles better. I liked both interiors equally, preferred the camaro seats (just fit me better) and the challenger gauge cluster.

A couple things. The SRT Challenger has an adjustable suspension, but its not magnetic, or even in the same class as GM's MRC in my opinion. With that said, the Scat Pack and SRT Challengers handle surprisingly well considering their heft.
Also, the SRT Challenger has 275 tires, just like the Camaro, although they are not as good as the factory Camaro tires. The Scat Pack has the 245 tires.
Overall, I think the OP's assessment of both cars is pretty fair to both.
