Re: Is the challenger better than the camaro

For pricing, the camaro with the V6 will be fairly comparitve if a little more then the Mustang. At the V8 level, the Mustang has 300hp and the Camaro will probably be rated around the 400hp range. Chevrolet will probably charge a premium for it. Probably, in the GTO range. I doubt you will see a low option Camaro for a long while.
I like the Challenger, the rarer it is the better... It won't be a daily driver, and I doubt driven much in the winter. With 2 feet of snow and the V8's torque it would be nuts to try. Plus, I have a 4X4 to play in the snow with...
Unfortunately for Chevrolet, unless they have gone away from the board mentality, I doubt you will see the colors as much as DCX has been coming out with on the Charger. I think DCX has an advantage there IF they starting working it! GO Panther Pink! DCX has a lot of heritage to play with, so does Chevrolet if they take advantage of it.
ya i know it's gonna be regular colors, that's why i like challenger's retro colors that make it stand out on the street. But it's gonna be a bitch trying to get the color you want the first year.
