Ha, well thanks for the banking. Not once did I ever state that I dislike the Camaro. I'm simply stating that I...ME...think that the Challenger looks far better. If Dodge wanted the Challenger to be a "modern marvel" then they would have headed in that direction. It was there intent to build this car as almost an "homage, or tribute" to the past Challenger of 1970. So for anyone to say "hey that car looks like it was straight out of 1970...Dodge thanks you...because you just pointed out what they wanted to hear. As in any sales/marketing field publicity is publicity , good comment bad comment...it gets the people talking, because just as many people that dislike a product, will like the product. Anytime someone can guess your exact direction with design....you've done a good job, and that's what Dodge has done. I'm glad you see where I'm coming from Jae...I guess being 23 makes me "gramps"...well then...gramps out.

"I love the SRT 8 version but everything else to me, in my own opinion falls short."
 
I thought we weren't supposed to state our opinions Colonel Klink ?
 
Sorry, but Chevy DID one-up Dodge with the new Camaro Concept. Nuf said.....

...I'm not trying to state one car is "better" than another or that one company "one-upped" another because of my own opinion. You can talk your opinion all you want for all I care, but when you say one car did better or one company and all you have as backing is your opinion....get some more to talk about. In any event I'm dont playing with you...get a dog.
 
have fun with your Camaro

The best part is, that hopefully (if there is a God) both of these car's will hit the street sooner than 2009 ! In my opinion (sorry, again !) the Camaro & Challenger can't arrive soon enough.
 
I luv cars, and I was way too young for the original muscle car rush, so I missed it. And I certainly can't afford a Barrett-Jackson price for one either.
 
My enthusiasm for the Camaro just can't be contained, Sorry !!!

If you're such a fan of the "muscle car rush" then you'd know that the Challenger actually looks like a car from the era that you love yet missed. The Camaro albeit a good looking car, isn't a car that came from the "rush" that you missed.

Are you sitting down ? Because I do agree with you that the Challenger is a good looking car. However, you're wrong when you say the Camaro Concept isn't a car that came from the "rush".
  
The Camaro Concept absolutely gets it's roots from the original '60's vintage cars, rear drive, V-8, and lot's of horsepower ! Retro isn't a bad thing, but I appreciate some forward innovation in that styling too, and that's where the Camaro scores big for me.
 
When I fast forward to '09, I'm much more enthused at the thought of the Camaro Concept than I am of the Challenger, which in '09 will look just like a 39 year old car.
 
I don't want Chevy to carbon copy a '69 Camaro, and I'm let down that the best Dodge could do was dust off the dies from 1970. I think, no I know, that DCX can do better than that.
 
And boy, can these cars ever generate debate, huh Gramp's ?
 
I'll c'ya on Woodward in 3 years, O.K. ? Until then, I'll keep up the fight for the Camaro and you keep 'on fighting for the Challenger. At least we ain't talking about Toyota's and Honda's..........appliance's on wheels !

Dream Come True! 2008 Challenger! by challengergal

I have waited a life time to bring back the feeling of owning a Challeger. If you've ever owned an original...you know how I feel. My first love!... 1971 Challenger hemi big block 3spd stick blue, blk interior, blk top..a real gem.
Sold car for one semester of college tuition. What a big mistake...even though I finished my master degree.
Whom would I talk to in order to be one of the lucky to drive the first dealers demo car in Baltimore MD.
I'm first on list to purchase... one hope is that the car would get more rear leg room. The current concept car shows with very cramped leg room. Would hope for more space in the rear seating area.
With joy in my heart .....can't wait!

Not a problem. IF you're gramps I must be ancient as I'm a few ticks over 23.
 
And want to correct a mistake I put in my post. I meant to state "Challenger" instead of "Charger":
while the Charger just seems "right". , should have been "...Challenger just seems right...it's got soul..."
 
Sorry for the confusion!
