The fact remains that the Camaro SS understeers and the '10 Chally handles like patio furniture.

Odd that they went with the L99 insterad of LS3. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

My Camaro handles pretty well... not many stock suspension parts left on it, though. My Challenger handles terrible... suspension is all stock.

I haven't had the oppertunity to drive either yet, however I have ridden in both (saving my first drive for my own SS in a few months...) but I find it very hard to believe that bulky huge Dodge is only. 7 of a second behind the SS... I think a better driver may be in order... not buyin it!

He's trying to drive it like a BMW or Bathhurst.

Drive it like a Camaro.......its not a bucking Bronco rodeo ride Dopey, its a kick your a$$ run with the bulls!!! I treat mine heavy handed and with brute force, not like a ballerina Tanner Faust racer on TV.
Seems to get around Watkins Glenn and Lime Rock just fine!!

Exactly! Comparing Tiff's driving skill to Clarkson's is an insult to Tiff.
