I did test drive all three in one day, and drive both of them on a regular basis (my friend has a 2010 SS)

Ultimately you have to pick which car speaks to you the most. Not to quote a movie..but its a bit like the line in Transformers "A driver dont pick the cars, cars pick the driver".

Each car has its pros and cons, make no mistake about it. The Camaro is harder to see out of than the Challenger and does have less space, which will be an issue if you're over about 6' and 200 lbs or so.

Comparing the physical powertrains the edge goes to the SS, assuming you're a good manual driver, which I'm going to work on the assumption that you are.

If you're wanting a low volume/production car..then the Challenger has the edge with around 3,000 produced each month vs. around 10,000 for the Camaro. Not saying the Camaro isnt a cool car at all! There will just be alot of them in the coming years (like the Mustang and Chargers)

Either way you're going to get a great car. The runners on the Challenger side are the R/T Automatics, who put down average low-mid 13 1/4's stock. Stock SRT's are into the 12's.

So ultimately if you're wanting
More interior space, low volume car, power and more retro styling=Challenger
More power, less interior space and higher volume car=Camaro.
