And let's not forget that reviews of the Challenger say the same thing. The chassis works but there's no responsiveness. The Camaro has gotten high marks for the responsiveness and the way the chassis and tight handling is able to mask the car's weight.
just sayin man. The Camaro is going to give the Challenger all it can handle and likely more when it comes to performance. I know you like the looks of the Challenger and I can understand. A lot of people do. My brother, a diehard Camaro fan says if the Camaro hadn't come out looking so badass (his opinion) he'd go for the Challenger. I got a chance to get an upclose look at an automatic R/T and it looked cool. But I still say the belt line makes it look way too big and stiff. The 1970 model had a line that kinda swooped on it's way to the rear of the car. The new one has a stiff straight line that bolts straight back and makes it look too big. That's from a visual standpoint and not taking into account dimensions at all. I know it's big, but if I had no clue how much it weighed I'd still think it weighed a lot based solely on the looks. The Charger and 300C do the same thing.
On an unrelated note. The roundup of all Challenger models I read in C&D says the autos exhaust note was tuned to be quieter so that you can't hear the change from 8 to 4 cylinders. The manual is going to be quite a bit louder. Sounds like it'd increase the fun factor.... I wonder if it'll be the same for the Camaro. It'd be interesting to hear the reaction of the guys who say the auto is where it's at.
Which transmission did you order?
