Exclamation For Those Who Are Thinking About Buying A Challenger...

For those of you thinking about buying the Challenger over the Camaro...

Go out to the garage, grab a hammer, set your hand on the work bench, and then hit your hand repeatedly until the urge to buy one goes away.


For those who bought the Challenger already...

Owning a Dodge is punishment enough.

Personaly I like all the American Muscle / Sport cars ... I've owned all brands at one time or another and don't have anything bad to say about any of them. My choice for the Camaro was mainly a bigger bang for the buck, so I bought two.

I love the Camaro and I think a Challenger would add to the fun.
...if I could only justify getting rid of my (company) Ram1500 and get
a Challenger instead.

No Car like a Mopar!

+1, well it does not fit in the garage. Camaro had more bang for the buck and fit in the garage.
