Default RE: What do you guys think?!

Every time I see that picture of the three cars together I can't help but notice how friggin' big the Camaro looks compared to the large Challenger and dumpy looking Stang. The Cam is definitely not the sporty Pony car of the late 60s. The Challenger was a bigger car back in the '70s so it really is true to it's past.

I guess what I don't get is the ambiguity (wishy washy) attitude some are taking towards which car they will buy. With me, it was a no brainer. I litterally wasn't even thinking about the Challenger until I saw it in a 1/18 scale diecast model. All my thoughts of Ford Mustang went away and even the Camaro Concept car didn't make a dent in my preference. IT WAS THE CHALLENGER OR NOTHING. I already have the best looking Mustang ever ('67 Fastback). My next project car was going to be either a '70 Challenger or Cuda with a Wedge motor. When I saw the Challenger, it was perfect to fill that gap and have new technology, too. I was not impressed with the Camaro in the Transformer movie and all the photos still make it look out of proportion from a lot of angles. You either love the Challenger and must have it or you don't and can settle for something else. Either way, unfortunately, you're not going to be as satisfied with your choice as I am with mine because I have my dream car and you just have a car that was .1 of second faster 0-60. The Challenger makes me feel better about the world when I look at it. The Mustang doesn't do that for me and what I've seen of the Camaro doesn't do it either.
