Love my Challenger and didn't look at anything else.

That said, if GM would have retro'd a Camaro/Nova/Chevelle as well as Chrysler did the Challenger................................I might have bought one of those.

I love good old American muscle cars.

Now that's an idea, an LSx powered 70s retro Nova/Chevelle would be sick. Those would sell like hot cakes.

Because since I was 5 years old Ive wanted a Dodge Dually truck to haul my horses just like my favorite uncle, I collect Mopar hot wheels, I've owned 5 cars...all Mopar. And I pay my car payment and I paid cash for my Daytona that was traded in on it. He pays for my insurance. I've paid for evey dime of my mods too. But then again I don't think the ops question asked for a defense.

SAME EXACT OPINION I have, except I lean more towards MOPAR ....

Too bad (for GM) that they missed the boat ! ..maybe they thought the numbers weren't there for retro styling?

Ding ding ding....in the red corner

Now, Litos I'm a Mopar Guy. I may have owned only 3 cars since I got my license but I can proudly say that they have all been Mopars and they have all had Hemis in them. In fact, the only Mipar that doesn't have a hemi that I would actually own is a Viper...

Now I am looking for a GM project car but that's only because I can pick up everything including the motor and the car for less than $10k if I do the work myself. Unfortunately Mopar slept through the 80s and 90s so there isn't anything with any substantial potential that I can buy so I won't be messing with a Mopar. Oh and I don't feel bad about learning on a Chevy so if I screw it up, it doesn't matter.

You know what? Argue amongst yourselves. I refuse to argue about it and I'm sick of having to defend every post I make on here. Have a lovely day.

I hope to god that wasn't directed at me. I haven't said anything against you, have nothing against you and I'm not looking to start a fight. Catch you later, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

What these results tell me is that we all lean toward Mopar (or we wouldn't be here) but Dodge and Chrysler should understand that most of us are not in lock step to the exclusion of everything else. There have been a couple of recent missteps (locked PCM and lack of a competitive supercharged response to Chevy and Ford). I think the forthcoming Hellcat will swing many of us back into the Mopar tent but that should never be taken as a given. Just my humble opinion.
