Cant you appreciate it for what it is instead of bringing it down for what its not? If I could Id have one of each, ive driven the challenger r/t and really liked it. It was very comfy and looked great with the hemi orange paint. I got a kick out of watching 4 guys leaning out of a 4 runner when I pulled out of the lot looking at it when I drove by with their jaws wide open.

Considering that one of the reasons for the existence of muscle cars was pure and simple rivalry, I think that most muscle car fans bond together fairly well. As a former hybrid owner (I owned a '05 Prius), I can say that not all hybrid owners are that sort of people. With mine, using clean reflexes, and the electric motor's instant torque, what I enjoyed from time to time was beating much faster cars across an intersection. After that, it was done, of course, but this was always good for a laugh. As for the government, they're in an interesting position. Look at it this way, they will shortly find, if they haven't already, that there is a lot more profit to be had in selling Camaro SSes than in selling Volts, and the sales of Suburbans and Tahoes will help pay the government back sooner.
I'm glad to see that Challenger owners are that satisfied with their cars. I doubt that I will be among them, though. Recently I managed to drive both a Challenger R/T and a Camaro SS, both with six speed manuals. While I like the way the Dodge's stereo made using my iPod's playlists a snap, I liked everything else about the Camaro SS better.
