Edmunds hangs with a Challenger SRT-8 for the weekend
Interesting story, too bad there's very little said about the car other than what we already know...

Hey that's all my neighborhood. Too bad I'm away from home right now, though aside from its looks this otherwise generic land-yacht really doesn't do it for me.
Notice the part in the beginning where she leaves the keys aside and still starts it? That's why I want a good push button system. |

nice read. I think that a similar drive in the Camaro would have yeilded similar results

I was laughing through that read, at two different times... "Is that the new Camaro?" Poor Challenger. I'm telling you the hype for the Camaro is off the charts.
This story makes me want to get the Camaro the first week it's out so I can just park somewhere and have people ask me, "Is that the new Camaro?!?!?" and I can smirk and say, "Why yes it is, it kicks a$$."

Ah this makes me wish I had the money to buy the Camaro when it comes out. Would kick so much ass to be recognised and also to have people ask "what is that?" with wide eyes.

I love this article simply because close to no one cares about Dodge's crap enough to know what the hell it is. "Is that the new Camaro?" 'Nuff said.

Love the two comments about them thinking it was the Camaro. Good for the Challenger, though. I'm glad it's getting the recognition it's getting so far. Makes me feel good that the musclecar wars are returning!!! And who's talkin' bout my baby's front end?!?! It isn't out yet....save those judgements! |

Also loving the fact that Dodge can't even release this car w/o it being constantly compared to the Camaro.
I too wish I could buy the 'maro as soon as it comes out...that'd be so cool.

Turns out the Challenger is good publicity for the Camaro! Really! Folks will be just that much more excited to see the Camaro when they realize how much better looking it is than the car they sadly mistook it for.

Looks like the late release date isn't hurting the 5th gen at all, except testing the patience of Camaro die hards. And no one can really get their hands on a Challenger outside of the rich baby boomers until 2009 anyways. So it really won't pose much of a competitive challenge to the Camaro in the beginning.

Had the 5th Gen never existed, I would have probably been looking at the Chargers and small interest in the Challenger. These are such exciting times! Man I want my Camaro so badly it hurts everyday!
