Overall, we have to say that GM has done a much better job on the new 2010 Camaro than Dodge with the new Challenger. Not only is it more svelte, but is far lighter and has a more athletic chassis. As for how it will compare to Mustang, we must admit that it trumps the Ford in raw power with both the current V6 and V8 engines. Even what we have heard the 2010 Mustang will have is still less. It trumps the Mustang in chassis dynamics by virtue of its independent rear suspension.

A little bias much? lol cmon what do they mean by a MUCH better job. They waited for dodge to release specs and info on the challenger and slightly improved on what dodge did. They basically used an existing chasis (zeta) just like the challenger did (LX), they put a 6.2 L engine and dodge put a 6.1, the interior on the Camaro has its good (steering wheel/gauges) and the bad(ugly dash set up) and dodge with its nice seats (cockpit seats/pistol grip shifter for 09) and the bad(ugly steering wheel and shifter). And finally the gap between both cars (auto vs auto) is only 220-240lbs. They are both pigs and both weighed alot more than most of us were waiting for. I love the challenger and the camaro but cmon MUCH better? Once the price of the camaro comes out and if it is in the low 30s for the v8 then they can say that they did a MUCH better job on the PRICE.

By the way this isn't a I hate the camaro post, so don't take it that way.
