Plus the Camaro will have more HP.
If you believe the interview with Steve Saleen, the top-dog Camaro will have ~450hp from the new 6.2L V8 (as seen in the new Cadillac Escalade, tuned for more HP and probably less torque).
This means at the top we have:
-2009 Challenger = 425hp 6.1L HEMI
-2009 Camaro = 450hp 6.2L V8
The real question is weight... the Holden Commodore SS-V tops out just over 4000lbs, and so does the Dogde Charger. The real technical question is who goes on a better diet...
Either way, the Challenger looks OLD. I don't think you could advance the design past its current iteration whereas the Camaro has a nice new design direction that could be pushed in any number of ways.
Either way, I don't think anyone could go wrong with either choice... both are the hottest American Iron to come out of detroit in a loooonnnggg time.
