First of all, Scotty, as much as I like you surely you read past the title of the title of the article yes?

BINGO
The difference between the Camaro and the Challenger is that the Camaro has it's own assembly line. GM has more money for that and that's just the way it is. The Challenger's production line is shared with 2 other vehicles meaning fewer are made. Add to that the plant closures, etc for 2009 and 2009 models are very rare in deed. I think only 39,000 TOTAL were made for 2009. I know they built at 1250 of my Hemi Orange 6 speed. There were only 156 B5 Blue SRT8s built. However, with all the people who buy cars now and store them thinking it's 1970 all over again, I'm not sure there'll ever be any future value, but who knows.

WHAT!? The Charger does not out perform the Challenger. It weighs a bit more to boot. To me Dodge really screwed the pooch on the Charger. It should have never been a 4 door sedan with that name.
OH, and from what I'm hearing the 2011 SRT Challenger is getting a 6.4L motor with about 550HP but we'll see.
