I tried to say that..but then again, I got the knee jerk reaction because apparently they read that I was saying the R/T's and the A6 L99's were "evenly matched". I do recall saying "more closely matched than not" compared with a R/T vs. M6 LS3.
Of course, its pointless to mention that the R/T's and the L99 Camaro's are running very close 1/4 ET's and their 0-60 runs are very close as well (1-2 .10's), because after all...Camaro owners are the ONLY drivers who are enlightened enough to see rationality.
Then again I havent been bashing the Camaro..but Camaro owners just love to bash the Challenger left, right and center, and are unwilling to recognize reality.
