It's always funny to me when people talk a little trash then are "shocked" that they get a response. If by "load of fun" you mean I enjoy a good fight then you sir would be correct. Just chill and let's get back to the car talk. I was simply stating I don't believe every post on forums and it would be wise to question some things now and again. It wouldn't be the first time someone made up a story on the internet. And the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true" seems to hold up pretty good even in these tough economic times...this is why I am asking. If I see the proof then hey, I'm wrong and that's good because then I can take that proof to my local Dodge dealer and see if they can match it. If I'm right...well then I won't be surprised and it'll be back to patiently waiting for my $37k Camaro.

Calling people liars isn't starting crap?

I'm done! Gl with your car BTW(OP), and hope you enjoy!

I can totally understand "jumping ship" or "throwing in the towel" at these prices. The difference for me would be going from a $550 payment at 60 months to a $400 payment at 48 months....that's a pretty big deal in my eyes.

And there is a plus side to going with the Dodge. I believe it will be more rare than the Camaro.

Although once the Camaro hits the streets it would be hard. The Camaro is just such a better car in every way.

I thought this was a good deal but again it would not fit in my garage.

Then you better measure for a Camaro. When looking at the specs, the Challenger isn't that much bigger (a few inches is all).

I picked up a Challenger as well last week. The prices are just TOO good to pass up. Mine was nearly fully loaded and I got it for $33,400. The only things missing were a sunroof (didn't want) and the mygig thing with nav (didn't want). It's a 6spd manual with RT hood stripes, leather, and everything else. It's an awesome car to drive and really gets the attention. I actually stopped traffic at Walgreens and had people getting out of their cars to take pictures. Kind of embarassed me a little.

I think the Camaro is nice, but not necessarily better in every way. The Camaro is more sports car where the Challenger is more of a muscle car. So it really depends on what you want. The Challenger will DEFINITELY be more rare. They're only builinga bout 20K of them this year compared to 100K or more Camaros.

Congrats on the purchase....check out www.challengertalk.com. It's a pretty good forum and I've already started my list of mods to easily hit about 425HP (exhaust and CAI).

DDustiNN · 03-05-2009, 12:58 PM

I was going to get the Challenger since it came out first and I didn't want to wait any longer... but then every time I looked at a pic of the Camaro, I changed my mind again. Nothing compares to the look of the new Camaro, IMO. The Challenger is close, but not close enough for me. I would've regretted it every time I saw a Camaro drive by...

But congrats on the new car though, hope you enjoy it!

I love these kind of statements. The Challenger is only 7.3" longer (197.7 vs. 190.4), .2" wider (75.7 vs. 75.5) and 2.8" taller (57 vs. 54.2) than the Gen5 Camaro, yet it's a monster! Let's be real here, either you have a very, very small garage or you're just trying to make some sort of detrimental point about the Challenger with that statement.

Shame on you, don't you know the rarity/exclusivity argument only holds water as a reason for choosing a vehicle when you are talking about a '04-'06 GTO!

nester7929 · 03-05-2009, 02:10 PM

Congrats on the purchase. The r/t is a sweet ride, don't let anyone tell you different.

Personally, I'm waiting because I have a feeling they'll be offering incentives on the Camaro before the calendar year is up.

Dude, man, that is a nice car. But, not as nice as the Camaro. Should've waited IMO.

headpunter · 03-05-2009, 02:26 PM

have fun in your boat.

HPlover · 03-05-2009, 04:34 PM

Congrats on the Chally. Remember, its all one's opinion and personal taste. Don't let anyone tell you that you made a mistake.

I like the big three muscle cars for different reasons. I would have all three if had the money.

No regrets bro!

PS. Whoevery said 27K for 48 months at 0% is 400.00 is incorrect. Its around 550.00 with nothing down.

Its a good deal for the 0%, but your not looking at much more of a payment with 60 months for a camaro and 6.7% financing. 600.00 for a 30K auto.

Some of you crack me up. So tell me, if the challenger is a boat what is the camaro. Its only a smidge smaller and lighter than the challenger. Is see alot of you post that, is that the depth of your vocabulary or are you just a negative person that likes to try and dump on others choices of vehicles?

In my opinion, anybody who is making their car purchasing decision based around what their payment will be is not too bright. The only thing that you should base your decision on is how much you will end up paying in total in for the vehicle in question. The fact that you can now get 72 months + financing on a vehicle, is just crazy. If you can't afford to pay the car off in 48 months or less, it's probably a pretty good indication you cannot afford the vehicle you are looking to buy.

Sorry if that offends anyone, but that's just how I feel.
