Default RE: R/T 1/4 mile & 0-60 times

I happen to have soft spot in my heart for all of the Big 3 muscle cars. It just so happens that I own a Ford...my 5th consecutive Ford, no less. However, I did not read anywhere in the rule book that I was not allowed to like or in some cases (like Challenger) LOVE the others.

Try and look at it this way: Its like you are dating a nice, beautiful girl who you love to pieces, she is great, she really is. But she has been the only show in town for quite sometime now. I mean she is the hottest of all her friends, she is definitely the coolest, friendliest, easiest to get along with, etc. and she even enjoys doing pretty much all the same stuff you do. Plus, she is loyal as Hell. At this pont in the relationship you can prety much finish each others sentences. Now, on the other hand she has two extremely hot younger Sisters and your imagination starts getting the best of you somedays. Sometimes you feel guilty just for even having these thoughts and you subconsciously begin defending your best girl on random message boards with people you do not even know during your lunch break to somehow try and convince yourself that the best thing to do is maybe just to stick with her...despite the ridiculous level of sibling hotness going on in that family. And I mean RIDICULOUS! Still with me mopar2ya? OK, good. At the end of the day though you just know in your heart of hearts that all those fantasies you have been having could easily become a reality IF you allowed it to happen. I mean she is beggin for it! A big obstacle though is she costs A LOT! So, then you begin trying to determine if she is really worth it. This one is gonna be hi maintenance fo sho. Your beautiful, loyal girlfriend that you've been with since November 2005 is great...she still looks awesome, she still enjoys a good beating (on) and performs well when ya need her to, so why in the world would you want to get rid of her?

That is the battle that has been raging in my twisted mind since January 2006 when both Challenger and Camaro literally rose from the dead at the North American Intenational Auto Show. I hope this helps open some sort of window into my thought process. And if you held my feet to the fire and made me say which one I like the best, despite having no qualms whatsoever with my Mustang, I would take a new Challenger R/T in Stoned White in a HEARTBEAT! I just wish it was a little faster and cost a little less. I really wish it was at least as fast as what I am considering giving up. And therein lies the problem.

So, although you may feel that all I am doing here is throwing stones inside a glass house, I think you have got me all wrong. I simply like to throw it out there, get some consensus from many well-informed fellow enthusiasts and take that data to ultimately arrive at an educated, well thought out decision.

PS: And don't even tell me you don't like that beautiful, convertible, red SuperSnake in my sig. I hope she is your proverbial "hot younger Sister". At the end of the day you need me out there as much as I need you; end of story...

I absolutely could not (respectfully) disagree with you more! Camaros interior is almost an exact match of the 2006 concept. Challener can't say the same. Furthermore, it does a much better job matching the exterior WOW factor of teh car than Challenger does. Challengers interior is a mix & match from the 300C and Charger parts bin. Everything in Camaro is brand new, state of the art stuff.

I am satisfied with the R/T performance numbers. What's more satisfying is the MPG numbers for a muscle car.
IMO, the interior of the new Camaro is weird. I think the straightforward layout of the new Challenger is far more pleasing to the eye.
Albeeno... with all due respect... I have listened to you whine and moan about the Challenger and brag up the Mustang and Camaro for over a year on this board. You dont like the Challenger fine... dont buy one. You like the Camaro and Mustang... buy one and join thier forums. I think the idea behind this forum is the Challenger enthusiast... thus the name. Your acts are none different than those of a typical forum troll for the most part. I personally would prefer you go Camaro... of Mustang... or whatever floats your boat and have fun doing so...

Just my 2 cents...
