Wonder if any of this stuff will be spending time in the wind tunnel. The bigger brakes look nice too.

I was really excited when the new Camaro was introduced.....when was the first time I saw it again? Oh yeah, 3 or 4 YEARS ago! Hell, it stared in a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE a year ago! It is almost getting stale already.

I am VERY sorry to say that if the new Camaro was introduced in the next few months and I had $40,000 laying around.....I would MOST LIKELY buy a Challenger SRT8. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

The Challenger looks much cleaner, the interior, although Dodge boring, seems much nicer in photos, and the SRT8 engine I drive quite often in the wife's car.....Chevy has a way to go to beat it IMHO.....


We will see......

I think the Challenger is great, however IMHO apples and oranges here. A Z28 will likely be 25-30k and will likely accelerate, handle and brake better, not to mention get better gas milage. If I had 40k to spend it would be difficult not to get an LS3 C6 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah the price is steeper, but maybe not too much more than the future "upgraded" Camaro models. Dodge is coming out with the top of the line BEFORE the regular car, unlike Chevy....I would wait and see how they compare performance wise though.....IF the Camaro was as big a performer as you say, it would blunt some of the "pain"...
