We will not know the answer to that until you see a Camaro for the first time while driving the Challenger. Like I said earlier, as long as you don't get that
pit in your stomach from knowing you made a mistake, then all is good.
I have persnally made that mistake in the past. Good luck with your descision.

I believe that you've made your position clear. You like both cars, but it's a matter of money.

In other words, what will bring you more units of satisfaction? A Camaro in your garage or 10 thousand dollars in your pocket and a challenger in your garage.

It sounds like you'll be happier if you have the extra money and the challenger to drive.

Now, all you have to do is pull the trigger on the deal for the challenger.

You should do it.

About 9 years ago I settled for a Mustang over a SS Camaro... horrible I tell you... never again! Choose wisely... wait and save up if you must, but don't ever settle!

It was a $6,000 difference for me.

your going to be pissed when a camaro ss blows your doors off lol. at least your not getting a poo stang.

Ch3vYm4N · 04-10-2009, 07:08 PM

I'm getting the 2lt. I dont think a DD needs an SS... I'm getting mine for under $30k and I will perfectly happy getting from 0 to 60 in a lil over 6 seconds and maxing out right around 150.. There is nothing wrong with a challenger. My only question is though, if you are a DD and you want an awesome car for around $30k then why not the v6 camaro? Better interior better styling better pricing and better fuel economy than Challenger R/t I know it doesn't outperform it but a DD doesn't need top notch performance do they?

Camaros are my favorite muscle cars period, but that being said $40K rubs me the wrong way. The Challenger is badass as well so if I can save $10K and buy one it maybe be too good to pass up. I am sorry if that offends or upsets anyone. I really don't know what I am going to do yet.

It has been said before, the Camaro SS can be had for a lot less than 40K. This is what rubs me the worng way. You can buy a brand new 1SS for 31K.

I'm really dissappointed because somebody would switch from camaro to crappy dodge. I've driven the challenger srt8 and the rt, and i tell u both car r junk, and cheap. pay the price it will be worth it

chevymuscle311 · 04-11-2009, 01:27 PM

Nothing is set in stone. I am going to try and work out a deal with the NY dealer and see if drop shipping or transporting a Camaro is do-able

smbluelimited05 · 04-11-2009, 01:32 PM

believe me i want 1 so bad< but i've been laid off from work, i had to sale my 2001 ss camaro, so i can pay bills, but i did save some money for a down payment when i go back to work.

smbluelimited05 · 04-11-2009, 01:34 PM

With the options he wants it's ~$36k and with tax it's just about right at ~$40k. He can get the R/T optioned they way he wants with tax at ~$30k.

ArcAngel · 04-11-2009, 02:41 PM

yea they always try and say 1SS but hey alot of people dont want a bare bones 1SS so a 2SS starts at 35000 add RS your at 37000 add ttl 40 is here. For what he wants and the deal he is getting on the chally its worth it.

Not that it matters....but I gotta jab you here.

You won't give the Camaro any bones, will ya? A 2SS starts at 34,2xx WITH the destination charge...and the RS package is $1200 on an SS. Your estimate tacked on almost $2 grand that isn't there...what ever happened to fair comparisons?
