Challenger or Camaro

[Steve HR Hooligan]

At our local M & G i parked next to a 2010 Camaro RS and took some pictures






The couple that own the Camaro have full documentation from the factory and pictures of the car as it was being assembled down the line, which i found kinda kool. I still like my car better.

i like them both, but the camaro just looks like it means business.

Both look great. I really wish they would do a Challenger Convertible. I think that would put them all to shame. I read an article about Mr.Norms who does the convertible swaps and they look amazing. I dunno that it is worth the added cost but they sure are pretty

Having both is the only solution.

Well neither really handle all that well on a road course. Stock for stock they're about even in the 1/4 Mile. Roominess is about the same. Styling is a matter of opinion. More factory options available on the Challenger (I think). Now here's one for yah. At our dyno day yesterday we had an otherwise stock Camaro SS with Procharger and 8psi turn 456 rwhp on the dyno. I went about an hour later (roughly same temp.) with my 300C SRT8 with Procharger and 6psi and I turned 492 rwhp. Not sure how much difference 36 rwhp would make on the track, but there you have it.

The styling on the Camaro certainly has an aggressive look... from the front and side too.

Whoever designed the front didn't show up to work when the rear was designed. IMO, it's hard to imagine that it could have been designed worse.

In pictures sometimes the Camaro looks better, but in person its just no contest. The challenger is clean and sleek looking. The Camaro is person, especially in person, looks stubby and scrunched especially in the V6 where the ride height is higher or looks as such because of the wheels. In black and in the SS version the Camaro is really nice, but I still think the Challenger has a better old school less is more look. I would drive either. Right now because of the "new" factor the Camaro would be fun, but they are not all that cheap (well over 40k) fully loaded.

Something was lost from the concept version, and the production model just looks different than the one in the transformers movies. The mirrors, ride height, slightly different body. I've never done a side by side, but they changed something from the final concept..... maybe I'm just

For the money I'd rather find a slightly used Challenger.

I'm waiting for a 2009 CTS-V to become reasonable, and I'd still rather have a corvette than a Camaro any day.

For the past two years I have followed the news of the Camaro's comeback with interest. Having owned many GM cars since my first car in 1966 (GTO), with three Camaro's among them, I really wanted to like the new Camaro, but it just doesn't do it for me.

I suppose I am showing my Old F@rtness, but the styling is just too edgy for me. And the interior looks like it was designed by Mattel Toy Co. Add to that the major reliability problems with the early production run, and that seals the deal for me.

The Challenger is it for this Old F@rt. Now if only Chrysler would price the Challenger SRT8 competitively with the SS Camaro...........

[Steve HR Hooligan]

Looking at both cars together the Challenger is bigger both outside and in, the back seat in the Challenger can fit three just fine with lots of room (i took two teenagers to New Bruswick and back with no problem), the Camaro i would be cramped in the back, it is the same in the Mustang. The size difference is apparent when you see the cars live. I love my plus size muscle car.

[MattRMagnum]

I wonder if that Camaro had a bad drive in, or if it wanted to speed and it's owners wouldn't let it, or something. Regardless, someone needs to give the Camaro a hug. Looking as angry as it is, I think it's having a terrible day.


...and incase my message doesn't say the point: gimme a Chally. I like cars that look aggressive, not angry.

[DMAG]

Do not like the new Camaro. See them in person here pretty often and I'll take a Challenger any day over it. Slower, heavier...whatever.

[PHEEN]

I drove an ss/rs and a chally r/t...not going to lie I would take the r/t over the ss/rs anyday!

[Squeeg]

The price difference is huge that is why I like the camaro better. If they wasnt so proud of the challenger I would pick that.

[Mik3y]

I like the challenger better too

[Frankyoz]

Dont be too mad but I would take the camaro in a Silver or Black color. Way more car for the money. A SS in our local dealership had a sticker of 33k on the window and it will go toe to toe with a 45K+ SRT8, looks are cheaper to change than HP imo. Todays day and age its about money and when you compare those 2 Dodge owners are getting bent over =( Huge reason I bought my Charger used is because Dodge's have the highest depreciation value of the big 3.
