Speed is cheap. period.
Camaro will dust the Challenger on any real Track in America.

Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

The cadillac xlr doesn't look like the Camaro at all, but a nice car none-the-less.

the maro does 4.5-4.6 0-60 the chally does 4.7-4.9 0-60 (which is damn good for a 4100 pound car) not that much of a gap if you would call it that, the maro and chally can run neck to neck

0-60 is a small part of tracking a car. Cornering is equally or more important, and (though they havent officially tested the car and got the .96g's which was released... ) the Camaro should have an adavantage in both straight aways and corners. Thus, the Challenger has no area of the track where it can advance on the Camaro, resulting in a dusting.
