both cars are very nice. i saw one of the new challengers at porky's during back to the 50s here in minnesota and it was a sweet car to see. good run from both cars and glad you could get a vid of it
Tough choice for me. I want to see the two side by side and compare stuff. That Camaro will be hot.
Ford needs to step up its game and redesign the Mustang to look more faithful to the original or else they will get reamed. They got the right idea... it just ended up being too fat and slow.
In this insane PC era of tree huggers, gasoline being worth a fortune, and omnipresent law, I think it's really great that Detroit can still produce machines like these. This might be the last gasp of red-blooded American automotive masculinity, so I will embrace it wholeheartedly and hope that the future isn't as jacked up as I think it will be.

Wow that car looks just like their concept car. Amazing....Too bad GM didn't do the same with their camaro. Their camaro concept was amazing (as seen in the transformers movie)...But now the spy shots of the close to production camaro looks like sh*t in my opinion

I'm more than certain I could give you one and you would gladly take it. Unless you like running 16's, and having a nice comfortable interior.

JN2: Yes, do love my seats
My impressions on the Challenger after seeing it upclose like that, were very underwhelming.
Seeing at the autoshow 2 years ago, I was very impressed, but after being around Charger SRT8's, seeing the Challenger was like seeing a Charger Coupe, everything seemed the same.
And it was HUGE... made the GTO look like a compact car next to it.
Still, the exterior looks sick, the rest, meh.

I'm pretty unimpressed by the challenger, it weighs almost 4200lbs, I mean I know its got a pretty big motor, but the viper is in the 3400's, the corvette 3200's, and the stang is 3300 or 3400 I think with the gt500 at 3800's. Theres no reason it should be that much of a boat. A car thats supposed to be a stock 425hp rwd car should not be running the same 1/4 mile times as a 300hp rwd car like the mustang gt. I'd way rather take a mustang gt anyday. A gto, a camaro, or a mustang are all better cars than the challenger imo.
You're right... it's a heavy beast. But look at it!
If I bought one, I'd want a room with a revolving floor so I can just sit and stare at he car while it slowly spins around.
Then I would grow my sideburns long, wear 70's sunglasses, and take it to the beach to seduce hot jailbait girls.

Mind you this was on a very bad air night, I was running 2-3 tenths slower and 2-3 mph slower then I did a month ago.
I would like to see it run in the fall.
Saw a black Challenger at a local cruise tonight, makes the orange look like ****
