    I thought that was awesome. That's the kind of cr@p they use to pull back in the 60's. Let the pony car war begin!!!

    More like a 'haul-by' - that was a good publicity stunt, but I wouldn't be impressed until the two camaro's did side-by-side burnouts out front of the Challegers.

    hmmph - trailer queens...

    I'm with you on this one. What a move by a GM, simply hilarious. I happen to like the new Camaro and in a few years if I feel the desire to go to a 2 door coupe... It'll be between the Camaro and the Challenger.

    Stock catback, and stock drivetrain

    I would agree with you both...... nothing better than a little friendly rivalry!

    I think it's cool they did that. However, I think the new camaro is possibly one of the ugliest new cars I've ever seen. I'd rather drive a Scion XB.

    If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?

    Performance is great, but I don't want to have to wake up in the morning, next to it and chew my arm off. Challenger wins!

    there are things i don't like about the camaro's body and the challenger's interior, but i can't see a single thing i don't like about the GT-500. i wouldn't call any of them ugly.

    HAve to agree... it is ugly and in no way close to the 'old school' version. But also, like was stated above... 'trailer queens', too bad it isnt driveable to the events like the Challenger is then maybe, just maybe, we'd see a 'real' old school' showdown between them on the street

    I'm not surprised. This is typical of General Motors. "MIND GAMES" LOL
    Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people

    Click it, Thats all I got to say about that

    LMAO, that's funny!

    Should be some interesting showdowns at the 1/4 mile tracks.

    The Magnum has a soul. It has a personality, something all too lacking in the automotive transportation appliances everybody else is offering.
