Here's my take. I've owned Corvettes and they're great fun, but I wanted a Challenger because I'm a MOPAR fan and have had MOPAR muscle cars in the past. If I wanted another Corvette I would have bought one, and you're right, there's not a lot of difference in the price for a low end Corvette. I really don't care if this car is the fastest and can beat a Camaro or a Mustang, I used to but that was a long time ago. I'm not sure this car is much faster, if at all, than the 69 (383 w/ram air) Roadrunner I had back in the day. Doesn't matter, this car is WAY better, no comparison. So buy whatever makes you happy, but I bought a Challenger and I'm ecstatic.
