Hate to say it because wife wins then but Challenger then Camaro. We own both and challenger gets more comments. Over all 3 the challenger is a true classic design and it just does not get old looking at it.

Funny this thread came up.
Friend of mine took me on a test drive today of a 5.7 Hemi Challenger, Orange with Shaker hood. $46k sticker.
Wanted to know what i thought about it. Dam fine looking car.
It was an Automatic with 375 hp and 400 lb.ft. torque.

A real looker, Just didn't have the Cojones.

I have a black and red vert. My mom has a gray challenger. I get more looks/complements from the younger crowd and the retired crowd. She gets more complements from the 30-50 range. Just my observation.

Well, considering the V6 Camaro's are almost equal to the V8 engines from the era this body style is attempting to mimic it doesn't "ruin" anything at all. Did the thought ever cross your mind that some people want the style without the power? I want a ZL1 or a Stingray or a 2015 ZO6 but I will end up dead. I'm smart enough to know that I wouldn't handle myself driving a car that goes 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. So I settled and bought the car I always wanted, kept my payment low and get great gas mileage to boot. I prefer my slow V6 Camaro

I get tons of attention. I suspect our fellow pony car guys do too. I love all three. We are lucky to be living at a time when the best American muscle and hustle cars are produced. Long live the pony cars.

I MIGHT get beaten up for admitting this. But I actually was looking at jeeps before I bought anything. Drove a challenger and loved it, such a great looking car, but it didn't feel right. Camaro was always my dream, but I thought they were more expensive than they were, I thought $35,000 was MSRP starting for a base model. I went to look at mustangs first one day and Ford made me so angry because the biggest dealer near me only had a 2014 GT500 and about 4 marked up V8's, think the cheapest I saw ran about $40,000 for a GT.

I left and immediately drove to a Chevy dealership and bought a Camaro the same day.

i guess my moral of the story is I love all 3 too lol

I sure hope your friend didnt pay 46k. Thats ridiculous. You can get a 392 for less.

you guys should come to Canada. These cars are still superstar status here. Winter 7 months out of the year will do that.
