Doesn't matter what the numbers are. A Chrysler is a Chrysler.

In fact, when a neighbor drove up in a new Challenger spouting numbers, I replied, "I don't care how fast it is. It's always gonna be a POS Chrysler and mines always gonna be a Camaro, so who wins? I do".

I know that's pretty immature, but I had to say it.

And some are very delusional.
Outside a performance shop, a Charger R/T owner walked up to me and tried to convince me his (100% bone stock) Charger R/T could keep up with my Camaro in a drag race.

I tried to explained to him that my car ran low 12s in the 1/4 mile. My hood was also open and he looked at my CAI and long tube headers? Even after all that, he was still making comments about how his car was just as fast as mine.

Your friend has a 392. You would get smoked unless you have enough mods. They are no joke and run 12' stock.

My friend with a V6 challenger told me he'd whoop my V6. I was like "in the giant, heavy slab of a car? Ya right."

They look even heavier than the 600lbs. The Challenger though is a sweet ride. The SRT Magnum I run into is a monstrous looking beast. Black, tinted, wheels etc. I wish there were more of them.

Well, your V6 Camaro is faster than the V6 Mopar.

They do look great though! I was put off by the interior. The car is much larger than a '70s Challenger. More back seat than I need.

Best comment I ever had from a MOPAR owner was when my brother was bragging about his bored and stroked 440 "Spun like a Chevy"

He loves my car, I love his car, it's all good.

41K...hell they are 40K plus here and they are not even SRT 8's

They were nice. My daughter had a v6 version, and even that was a nice driver. Mercedes really screwed up that company. The car could have been better if it weren't for them refusing to let the Chrysler guys do good R&D and get good interiors.

Thats how I feel about the BS talk, if you aren't willing to go out there and prove something, no reason to argue about it. Bunch of games, talk talk about what money buys...same thing as a dyno shoot out.....doesn't mean a thing. You have 10-20 HP more than me, big deal.

I love the first trip to the dragstrip, when such crap talking owner starts making excuses as to why he's not running the 13.xx that the magazine test claimed. There must be something wrong with the car...blah blah.

And just today another friend Dodge owner, this time in a stock everyday new Ram claims he can beat me..really guys? Maybe the fact that Camaros have not been around for so many years people forgot that these are SPORTS CARS not sedans, or trucks, or eco friendly..True American Muscle

*disclaimer: no it doesnt bother me, no I dont care what others think, no I didnt buy my car for them. This post was made for fun and the irony
Ditch those and others friends like them .
