The Challenger and Charger are overweight sedans with big motors...get the Camaro

i had the challenger before the camaro, nothing bad to say about it... i kinda liked how big and bulky it was, i think they look great going down the road... seemed like you sat up higher too, might be easier for a girl to drive if shes smaller
i had my ex drive it home one day and happened to see her pulling up and i'll say a woman looks pretty sexy in a challenger
i would have kept it if i bought the SRT8 fully loaded but i bought a stripped out R/T, my mistake so i traded in for a fully loaded SS haha

good luck with the car hunting! might be able to steal a charger though since theyre a dime a dozen

i agree with you. the challenger is a sharp looking car man. for me it was between the challenger and the camaro. dealer wanted way to much money for the SRT8.

the only way i would seriously consider the challenger over the camaro is if the challenger was an SRT8

Get the Charger only if you need 4 doors. Otherwise the Challenger vs. the Camaro are a tough choice. I like them both.

actually the challenger v6 now has penstar 304 hp engine and they also upped the R/T. If deciding with the challenger I would defenitely go with R/T. I love the challenger, they are the heavyweight vs a mustang and our camaro but not too far off from our camaro. If they had a new penstar with a manual I probably would have jumped on it myself. I think they are a very good looking cars.

Ditto on the Charger and if there are children involved ( Rear seat access passengers), absolutely from a safety aspect get the Charger. The attached pic's where taken after an accident my wife was in while driving her Charger. It was totaled, but she basically walked away injury free. The impact also totaled the Ford truck that pulled across her path. She was traveling at 55 mph and as the pic shows flipped and pushed the truck also........Good Luck.
