Default comparing the camaro to the chally

just seems like apples and oranges to me.

when ever I look at the camaro, i think roadster
when I look at the chally, i think big body coupe.

maybe its just me, but I would never compare two cars like that.

besides that they both got big v8s, two doors and are supposed to be marketed as retro muscle, i don't see any similarities at all.


Just me tho. not set in stone.

When I first saw the new Camaro..I started to think..ricer, but with the Challenger it's always been retro muscle car.........(may feel a bit different when I see one in person...but then maybe not)

After looking through 59 pictures of the car twice, I don't see anything retro, muscle or pony car. It looks very much like to two Nissan GTR's I saw at a local show this past weekend. To be honest, it looks more like an import then a retro American muscle car.

Its all about your taste in cars. Dodge jump in full tilt retro. Chevy went with a modern look with rero cues.High HP V-8 rearwheel drive 2 doors with 6-speed manuals as an option. Just cames down to what you like in your looks department. Oh yeah before someone reminds me, base Challenger and entry level cheaper, but top of the line... Challenger is more expensive. But you will be a rare sight as to the Camaro one on every corner. Just the way it will be no slam. Look at Viper and Vette. You see a Viper once in a blue moon, Vette every street USA.

So when we see a Camaro on the street we can look at the driver and say "Cool Transformer".

Yeah RRUNNER... I guess you could say that... but you would have to leave off the "Cool" part...
