yeah, well, let me ask you this, my friend...and be honest: if that car had a Nissan or Honda badge on it, would you still think it was ugly? be honest...

now, this is just my opinion, but the Camaro will in all likelyhood be a slightly faster car in stock form because it will be more built for speed, and a notably faster car in the end-user state because it will no doubt have much broader aftermarket support along with being the more likely choice of those who would tend to modify their cars.

oops, yea you are right. I mistyped.

I want one to share the garage with my 77 hehe, gonna be a tough job to talk my wife into it.

if I remember, the LS6 is currently being used in the vette, which means there is already a good quantity of aftermarket parts available before the car even hits the show room floor.

With regards looks, im gonna have to go with Camaro, challenger looks bland , but i always go for the better handling car if power is almost equal. Fast cars belong on straights, Racer cars belong to fast drivers

There is a dodge dealership near me with two Challengers, they look great in pictures, but kinda cartoonish in real life.

Yep, absolutely. When I see an ugly car, no matter the make, Ill be the first to laugh and point fingers. Trust me, there is not ONE Toyota Id buy right now, and maybe ONE Honda. BLECH.

We should all be thankful they are at least building somthing that will keep the Chevy vs Ford vs Mopar arguements alive.

I was a huge fan of the Challenger in the 70's but the only thing uglier than this new Challenger is the interiour of this new Challenger

Classic mopar muscle...can't beat the Challenger!!

hmm as a GM fan I have to say the challenger has the edge on looks but the camaro should be better in performance with a fully independant rear end and the LS3
