2010 Camaro or the New Hemi Challenger?

[Unrepresented]

Challenger turns my head every time I see one. It's the car I would buy if I were in the market (had $30K to drop on a sports car).

This is the first F body I've disliked the styling on in 35 years. Don't dig the angular look.

The comparison from an aesthetic feel seems a lot like the Pontiac Soltice v. the Saturn Sky. They're basically the same car, only the Solstice looks timeless and elegant while the Sky looks dated already.

Haven't driven either car, so no comments on performance.

So..... what do you drive?

A wheelchair Bro. I get chauffered everywher I go.
BTW I was joking and I live in Georgia so I see these everyday.

Maybe the joke was lost.

Apologies if I offended you.

God Bless, Ray

the camaro looks like a caddy and the challenger is overweight. i think people are just buyin into a name. in 2050 where will you get a pcm for a 2010 camaro? electronics go obsolete overnight. noone will be restorin these cars 40 years from now. new cars are like lighters, disposable.

For the money? A BMW 328xi.

Here is the funny thing. I am 54 and every time I mention getting a car like that my wife has some snide comment like "What is the deal with old men and sports cars?" So I am a little on the touchy side about it. I didn't think I was old.....Guess I am..... :scowl:

 

[Fontaine]

Challenger by far!!

I'm a total Chevy guy so I'd have to vote for the Camaro. My dad and his two brothers closest in age are chevy guys and his other six brothers are Dodge guys, So it's kind of a teasing rivalry. If it were me I'd cruise around complete with the mullet wig and fake tall boy just to mess with folks at the red lights. Sporting a pair of overalls without a shirt ala Joe Dirt. Mind you I live in rural Georgia

Nevermind ladies, they don't understand men and cars anyway.

I'm 31 and my Pop is 52 so since when did 54 become old.

Again I apologise if I've offended.

God Bless, Ray

I wish chevy would give the camaro a package to compete with the mustangs Track Pack. Stiffer springs, adjustable shocks would be nice, wider lightweight wheels and fatter stickier tires, pads, and some weight reduction here and there. Perhaps some aero aids as well.
Give it a nod to the original z28's, and not put a badge on it.

No preference here,but the Camaro looks MUCH better in person than in pix.

I drive a Camaro.

An obvious sign of intelligence.

No apology needed Ray. I am a country boy at heart but live in Northern Virginia. Land of the Lexus, Honda and Mercedes. Not that there is anything wrong with those cars, however I have always bought American. The really bad thing is I have waited so long for the New Camaro but I can't bring myself to buy it from Government Motors!!!!

This economy is in the terlet and Government Motors is a big part of it. It's a shame

Please don't let this thread turn political. I don't want to see it get closed.

I've been a GM guy since before I started driving Datsun Z-cars (yes, they're Datsun - my 280ZX Turbo is an '83 with the Datsun name).

I had a '66 GTO and lamented the grotesque Cavalier look-alike that GM gave us a few years ago. Great driveline, completely worthless styling. NOT a GTO.

My jury is still out on the Camaro's grille. I kind of like it, but the truth is the Challenger looks better to me. But if I had to buy a new car (my first since 1977) and it had to be one of the two, it would be the Camaro.

 

[hover]

the Camaro looks like pure sex in person, whilst the Challenger in person looks too "tall" and lazy and the front end looks like it's ready for the boat launch.

Camaro all the way.

I'll just leave this here:



The original movie inspires me greatly for whatever reason.

Funny enough I really dug the look of the newer GTO's, though more so the holden monaro's and other stylings of it before the pontiac restyle.
Should be mentioned, the old GTO supped up tempest and wild looking beast so I think the newer ones get more flack then deserved for being so reserved.

Oh, didn't you see? They are working on it!

Both of them, while pretty, are fat sloppy-handling pigs.

I prefer this:

I dig those Exiges. Esprits and Elises are cool too.

I'm less than enamored with most American "Sports" Cars. Lead sleds IMO.
