I was driving a 2015 Audi S4 and had been the long-term owner of a Subaru WRX before this Camaro.

I cross-shopped against the following:
1. Ford Mustang GT + Track Pack - ultimately way too slow versus the Camaro in pretty much all contests of speed and the interior isn't far superior to make up that gap.
2. Dodge Challenger SRT8 or whatever is comparable - not serious comparison, these cars are heavy and big.
3. BMW M235i - pretty cool but BMW prices are ridiculous for what you get...car felt a little too soft for me and the adjust-ability couldn't hold up against how I can adjust my 2SS to suit my needs.
4. Cadillac ATS-V - bad infotainment, price and lack of V8.
5. Subaru STI - sentimental reasons and AWD is a plus for my neck of the woods...motor is super-old and never was all that awesome even back in 2004.
6. Lexus RC or IS 350 - both too heavy but obviously would be very reliable.
