They're still damned good looking beasts. I wouldn't be ashamed to own one.

The Challenger is only about .3 slower to 60 mph and through the 1/4 mile, but it's trap speed is 4 mph less.

Oh no way, I'm being serious. If you watch Youtube videos of 14 - 15 sec cars trapping 90mph, it's a noticeable difference than say 11-12 sec cars trapping 100+mph. It's a fact, no bashing at all.

Great article, especially when you compare the text of the article to the specs and figures on the last page. Just goes to show you what lengths someone needs to go to to rate the Camaro in 4th place in that comparison - Basically, ignoring all the performance specs which pony cars are usually held to, and focusing just on how close the car is to a soccer mom minivan. Otherwise the Camaro ranks second or third in virtually every category - can't have that.

Great analysis by Motor Trend.

I'd be surprised if you lost, but stranger things have happened.

Good luck!
