I find in the Chevy boy and girl world they compare the top of the line SRT-8 to their lowest SS so the price sounds more inflated. God forbid you should point it out. They also like to compare the R/T to the SS and say price range is similar. Then go to the SRT-8 to compare gas mileage. You can't win with them. Also we are pigs in the amount of weight we are compared to them. I sure don't see 300 lbs as being overly porky. I take my 125 lb. girl friend and they take their 300 lb. gal and we have a race. But if you want a good laugh go to Gen 5 forums and watch fan boyism at it best. There are some good guys there but alot of them will defend the Camaro as the end all to be all. I like my R/T and I really like driving it and seems most folks like it too. I was on my way to work today and a guy pulls up on the interstate to ask what kind of car this is. My son tells him its a Challenger and he says quote " thats one bad m$#@*& f*#@%#$". I don't condone vulgarity but it was hard to argue with him.
