Good luck, and I hope you love your new ride. I just don't get the comfort thing. I don't find my Camaro to be uncomfortable in the least. Maybe if I was 6'6" or something, but I haven't had any issues.

Challenger is a beautiful car though, enjoy it!

Plus it's your money, so pleasing yourself and not others on a car forum is way more important.

you and me both

I like the Challenger as well, and yours in a nice looking car... but for me it felt as if I was driving a truck when I test drove it. I'd personally wait for a 'Cuda if they ever bring that back since they do own the name! Still a nice car man!

Oh, and "the other side"? Nah, not on the other side unless you decided on a Honda!

I love the Challenger but would get it and keep the Camaro.

REDXIIIDave · 06-16-2011, 02:52 PM

There seems to be a consensus here that Challengers are cool, while Mustangs aren't. I agree. The only thing I really don't like about the Challengers is the price. For the price of an R/T, you can get an SS. For the price of an SRT8, you could get a base Corvette, with all the discounts on Vettes these days. I know they aren't really comparable cars, but it just shows how really expensive the Challengers are for what you get.

I understand the comfort thing. If I was a big guy, I might have gone that route.

Very nice car, nothing bad about it. I've got nothing bad to say....Enjoy your ride.

OHIOSS · 06-16-2011, 03:03 PM

Very nice car, I would love to have a SRT8 Challenger sitting in my garage next to my Camaro SS.

I'm not going to give you any crap, but curious why you would feel the need to post a pic of your Challenger on a Camaro forum unless you were hoping to get some crap??

I have to disagree. In my opinion Ford has been makin a way better product in the recent years in regards to customer satisfaction and reliability. Nonetheless great looking car though.

cab2g · 06-16-2011, 03:13 PM

I would've seriously considered a challenger if the price for performance had been roughly the same as the Camaro. When the Challenger came out and you stacked its 350HP against the Mustang's 315HP, you had a leg to stand on, even with the extra weight, but when I heard about the 426HP Camaro, all bets were off for the Challenger, especially because of Chrysler's quality woes. But Chrysler does have a ton of awesome looking cars on the market. Hopefully they'll start getting better quality ratings soon.

That makes two of us. We're going to be in the minority though.

I personally love the seats in the chally. Far more supportive then the Camaro. The chally is a great car. Congrats! My friends built your car

I live beside the plant, the green is very nice but my fav would have to be the white with blue stripes 392

Congrats!

Ya you may get alot of HP but that car is not built to last. Ford has stepped up their game like GM has. Just read the reviews. I miss my terminator lol

all weve ever owned are fords and chevys, Rarely had problems with our fords, every single chevy that my family and relatives have bought have had MANY problems including my baby. Oh well, sacrifice to drive this beauty!
