But you came onto a site full of GM fans. While i am glad you are purchasing a chevy.

But yes...the camaro shares the same plat as the G8 and Vauxhall VXR8...which were reviewed very well and recieved praise from numerous magazines in the US and Europe.

Charger on the otherhand was viewed as an old fashioned american car...there was no step ahead in auto tech...nothing special...just a car with a hemi.

Nothing against the brand...just the car.
I love Plum Crazy

When driving like a grandmom you can get 27 MPG easily with the MDS HEMI but without MDS its a certain technique you would have to use with the 6-speed

This is the number one reason I love this forum. When a Internet tough guy like this tries to come along and insult me for being a Marine the members jump all over him. Thanks for the support guys.
:flag2:

garysscamaro,
I will still continue to do my job as I have for over 6 years now. Not everyone likes or respects that and it is fine with me. Maybe one day you will mature enough to truly realize how stupid your comment really was.

The R/T is rated 15/25. And they're fast, but a stock LS1 should take it with evenly matched drivers, and a 5th gen will blow it away.

Assuming the R/T is also stock. The R/T referred to in the OP might very well be modded.
