Satellite radio, that costs more. 20 inch wheels, that costs more. Remote start, that costs more. Summer tires, not available. Better than a Caravan brakes, not available. Handling, not even close.

Once you check all the option boxes to equip a Challenger with everything the Camaro has standard, you are at least $5000 above the Camaro, and you still have lousy brakes, all season tires, inferior handling dynamics, and come up over 50 horsepower short with more weight. So how is the Challenger in line with a Camaro or Mustang performance or value-wise?
Ok..I had a big post to argue you..but I just couldnt bother because neither of us is going to convince the other.

My R/T has posted low 13 second times and is nimble enough to anything except extreme handling that i throw at it on the road.


I love my car, it is every bit as good as a Camaro 1SS L99 A6 and was over a thousand dollars cheaper. With the thousand dollars saved I can get a HDD based entertainment system and a cat back exhaust.

Thanks
