Default From a Challenger SRT to a Z

Hey fellas. 1st post. Last year in February I bought a dodge challenger srt and I'm only a few days shy of owning it for a year. Anyway, I gotta say I'm not in love with my car. I love to look at it and sit in it, but the drive is less than spectacular. I've done some upgrades to it and have bumped up the HP to 400RWHP. Carbon fiber here and there, catback, carbon intake and what not. I like the fact that its a modern muscle car but the size of it makes it hard to take it out in town and park anywhere.

At the time I bought the challenger the only other I was interested in was the Z, but when Dodge announced 0%financing plus employee pricing I was sold. Paid 42k out the door for the car while others had paid close to 50k for the same car months before.

Anyway, can anyone help me out on the pros and cons of the Z? I woud like to get the Nismo version, but is it worth it? How does it compare to a lesser model and to the 40th ann version.

I like the Z for its looks, but would love for it to handle like its on rails. something the challenger doesn't do but I knew that going into the purchase. I've thought about upgrading my suspension with KWV2 and some beefier sway bars front and rear and strut brace, but something is holding me back from keeping the car.

Also the Z is something i could park on the street without too much attention being drawn to itself while on the other hand I feel the challenger would get swiped the minute I close my eyes. too much invested in the car

SELL ME ON THE Z. I would be trading the challenger in
