And you will be losing performance compared to your current V6 Camaro. You will be getting a heavier car, with less HP. And the Challengers have all been priced a little higher than the Camaro and Mustang from what I have seen on the lots. I would join the Challenger forum and ask around there

Challengers are number 10 and Camaros number 9 on list of top 10 cars that have best resale value after 6 years, for base models as a measure. Percentage difference being only 1 percent between the two. So good choice either way, since you will be getting at least 55-60 percent in value after six years on either. Major difference is that after 2015 refresh, Challengers will remain unchanged until 2018, AT LEAST. By then we might even have 7th gen Camaros, or 6.5 gen at least.
otter, again, 2015 Challenger will hold better value for the short term at least due to the lack of value reducing refreshes. Also, worst case scenario, come 2018 you are stuck with a true retro pony car, instead of 1-2 gen old Camaro (at which point Camaros will look like BRZ/FR-S clones and Mustangs will be hatch-only four door 4-cyl turbos). Disappointing how quickly did GM and Ford abandon the retro trend. :(
