I've not gotten that feeling with my Camaro yet, though I do really like the car and it grabs all kinds of attention.
Best of luck!

The opposite of this actually what finally sold me on the Camaro. True, I was initially attracted to it for it's looks, and when I finally stopped to check one out (never even sat in one at this point) on the way home from work, the salesman and dealer must of sensed something because after letting me drive it around the parking lot and going in to talk numbers for the hell of it and the salesmen going back to find something out for me (don't remember) I took the keys back off the salesman's desk and walked back out to start the car and play around with it again. The sales or finance manager probably said to the salesmen (since all their office doors where right by the salesman's desk and where all open and could hear our chatting) they handed me a dealer tag and told me to take it home overnight to see how I really liked it.
Took it home, stopped at my co-workers house who was with me when I picked it up and took him around the mountain for a test drive and to talk about it and he said I looked so comfortable in it like I've been driving it for years. Definitely strange for me being comfortable in this car being a prior truck only owner and never caring much for driving cars. Later I picked up my uncle (he was in awe at the look of the solid black Camaro, heh) to go visit my grandfather in the nursing home and he said he's owned many low riding sports cars over the years and said he had never been in one that rode so smooth and sound, heh.
We took my grandfather outside (who very sadly just recently passed) and told him I had just got a new car and to try to guess which one it was in the parking lot. He pointed out the black Camaro...
(he was also a hardcore Chevy guy - I didn't think he would guess to point out a Chevy since he knew I was a Ford only guy - but he raised me and knows my style and the Camaro was the sharpest looking car in the parking lot, lol)
Next morning I'm taking it back to the dealer and my co-worker was going to pick me up there on the way to the job site and I just didn't want to hand the car back, but did. Next day driving to work I was miserable driving my old truck and couldn't stop thinking about how much I liked driving the Camaro. Again, very odd for someone who was previously a truck only type of guy and never really feeling comfortable in a car and not even previously liking the Chevy brand.
I think I only went a full day and then mid-day after I just couldn't stop thinking about the car so I called the salesman back from work and told them the deal I wanted and if they could do it to go ahead and get the car and paperwork ready and that I would come down and sign the papers on my lunch break. I love driving the car so much that I initially didn't want to drive it to work on rain days and take my old truck out during bad weather, but I just can't stand the thought of driving my old truck anymore and have been driving the Camaro in the rain anyway, lol.
There's no doubt in my mind that I bought the right car for me. And yes, I've driven Mustangs before, my bosses is even 500+HP that beats stock GT500's and I hated driving it. For some oddball reason I like the form over function style and blind spots in the Camaro. Makes you feel like you're driving an exotic, heh.
But the seats to me in the Camaro are sooo much more comfortable than my bosses GT. Seems to ride smoother and everything. No doubts, second guesses, or buyers remorse here.
