Hmmmmm I'm Starting to Ponder something here.

[svrds10]

Just do what I did when I couldnt decide. I bought both.

[Cam 427]

Every time I asked about a Camaro I was offered a test drive. Also, I looked at a Challenger after they first came out, the dealer marked it up to $54K. Salesman asked me if I was interested and I told him for that kind of money I'd be intersted in a Vette. The thing I didn't like about the Challenger was that it weighs over 4000 lbs. Otherwise it was a nice car.

I traded in my 09 Challenger RT for my 10 Camaro 2SS
BIG difference
challenger interior is BLAH just took the charger dash and pretty much threw it in there
seats are uncomfortable. 2 hour drive and i would CONSTANTLY be leaning side to side to releive pressure from my legs because they kept falling asleep
handling.... not even gonna begin to start with that

HOWEVER i really have nothing against the chally, i loved that car, just the camaro is nicer in a WHOLE lot of areas...
and you can get a fully loaded camaro for 35, i have the 2ss, i think the only thing i didnt get was the color match interior which i thought was just took much orange. think i walked (drove) away with the car for 33,500 is what i got them down to.
Get a ride in the camaro, then go drive the chally again, and then the camaro again... i think your choice will be easy at that point

I said that I thought they cost a lot more than that and he told me that the SRT8s were the expensive ones and they have a big block in those. Well for shits and grins I decided to check the car out further, turns out the car has a much larger trunk then the Camaro with folding seats that are actually a bit larger than the Camaro when it comes to room in the back seat. So far I was rather impressed. I sat in the front seat and was rather impressed at the total layout and feel of the dash and interior layout.
Next thing you know the salesman asked me if I wanted to take it for a test drive, that really made me do a double take, I told him I was unemployed so it would be a waste of time for him, he STILL wanted mw to try it out. Now.... I'm telling you this because even when I had a job I couldn't get ANY Chevy dealership to give me a chance to take the Camaro out for a test drive, and it didn't matter how much I begged.
The Dodge salesman sad that he actually gained customers that were sold on the Camaro and couldn't get a test drive even when they were actually there to buy the Camaro, so they went over to Dodge and test drove the Challenger and ended up buying one.
I have been a "die hard" Camaro fan all my life and I will always like the Camaros but I will refuse to buy ANY car that the dealer isn't willing to let me try out first, Chevy will let me try any other vehicle they make but won't let me try out a Camaro, there is something wrong and that really chaps my hide so now I am finding myself courting the idea of getting a Challenger, The car is comfortable, has a trunk(not like the little glove box that the Camaro has, I have a 2004 Monte Carlo that has a trunk on it that you can park the Camaro in), has a spare tire(gotta have that), beautiful interior, offers a V6, and two V8s (the mid V8 is affordable and is 375 hp which is plenty for me) and the same gas mileage to boot.
I thought I would never say this but I think my next car might have a HEMI in it. I love the Camaro and I love the looks, but I also love the looks of the Challenger about as much, this is going to be a tough choice but unless Chevy gets there shit together and start promoting their Camaros they just might lose me as a customer, and I have ALWAYS bought a chevy, dont worry though I am not getting a Ford(them things don't like me)
The main things that really have me clinging onto the idea of getting a Camaro is the upcoming convertible, the 100000 mile warranty, the stylish looks, oh! and of course.......it's a Chevy.....'nuff said there.
I live in Athens Georgia and if anybody here knows anywhere I can get a test drive in a Camaro or know of any tricks as to convince the dealer to give me a test drive in one then that would be greatly appreciated. I AM going to test drive both the Camaro and the Challenger BEFORE I make my decision though even though I am still leaning stronger to the Camaro, And you hot rodders out there it has nothing to do with which car is faster or has more horsepower to me, it is all about the actual feel of the car and what I feel comfortable with, I know the SS is a lot faster car than the 5.7 liter Challenger but at age 45 I am not into street racing, or out there just trying to prove a point. I just like that for the same price I will end up paying for a V6 Camaro- I can get a V8 Challenger and still get all the bells and whistles I can get in the Camaro at no extra cost. I am not here to start a flame war I am open to ideas, suggestions and opinions. if you dont see me around here much then you will be able to find me in the Challenger forums.

One thing to clarify. Your "problem" isn't w/ Chevrolet, it's with the dealership. Chevrolet just builds the car, it's the dealership that gives you test drives. Find a new dealer. There were a few dealers here that only had 1 showroom car when the things first started hitting the lots, wouldn't let you drive w/out a contract. The next sound they heard were my footsteps walking away. Found another dealer, bought their car.

There must be something about your appearance that sways them from allowing you to drive one. And not having a job isn't the best time to be looking for a new Hot Rod. And you could always go to Avis. The Camaro car owning experience is a lifetime of fun- the dealership purchasing experience is a few days of pain.

Bigger question. Why are you buying any $30,000 without a job? I might have missed that.

I was able to test drive in June of 09. I just had to find a dealer with a camaro.

[KaiserSoze]

I went to a dealership here in Vegas, and told the salesman up front that I only wanted to sit in one to see the interior and was not interested in buying right away. I'd never seen one besides having them drive by on the street. He still insisted I take it for a drive even though I had to wrangle my daughter's car seat in the back of it. I'll probably wait until the dealerships offer to match up to a certain amount of your tax return next year before I buy. That'll give me more time to pay down my Mazda some more and I'm always down for free money.
