I checked and there IS a Charger SRT8 model. You have to "build your own" to see it though.

People know it exists but weren't sure why it (a 4-door) instead of the 2-door challenger would be compared to the Camaro.

Because the Charger is what I drove, not the Challenger. They didn't have one available for test driving. The Charger is 20 pounds heavier than the Challenger and has the same motor - so why does it matter?

By saying that GM better bring out a quality product to compete that to me is a comparison especially after driving the other two he is making a comparison to something. Relax wasn't trying to offend.

Here's a translation for the kids:

I liked the Charger. I hope the Camaro will be as good or better.

EXCUSE ME.... BUT!!!!!!!!!!

...I'm a die hard Dodge fan. I've had my Magnum RT from new, modded it and it will give an STR8 a good run for its money!

Don’t under estimate what the Hemi's can perform like. Some days its amazing, other days it feels insanely possessed!!

That said, I fell in Love with the Camaro the moment I saw it as a concept and waited patiently until I could order it.

Yes, I think the Camaro does not need to worry about the SRT8 if indeed the Camaro does 4.7s stock. Chargers look amazing, the Camaro.... I don’t have enough superfluous words in my vocabulary that justify it.
