Has anyone seen the 09s yet? i live in brampton and i saw the red rt last week, today i saw red, white (the white looked the best surprisingly) and a silver one, im not sure if the silver one was an srt 8 or not but damm, the white looked good.
If anyone here had a choice of the challenger rt vs the camaro lt/rs for the same price, which one would you choose?

TJ91 · 08-14-2008, 12:57 AM

Im all camaro, but just wanted to know all your opinions

I wonder what 99% of a camaro forum would say lol.

It has already been discussed.

Cuz someone said that sms is saleen blah blah blah and I was just correcting him.

Congoman775 · 08-14-2008, 04:26 AM

i dont doubt that SMS will attempt to try a stint with the new camaro, but we dont want our maro turning into the 9327487892 different kinds of mustangs.

Naw all he is doing is making an aftermarket supercharger for our cars that will be available from the factory in limited quantity of course or you can just buy the SC by itself.

hmmm.

dont think im going to look at paying steve saleen any money whatsoever for anything.

unless of course, it gives me 100+ hp for under 1.5k ha.

but if its factory installed... its a supercharger covered by warranty right??

yep

anyhow He is pricey and I expect someone to make a twin screw soon for the challenger. The vortech SC is amazing and comes with a 3 year 36k mile warranty.

I have a friend at a dealer and they bought a Challenger SRT8 from a dealer. They are asking $52K. I was only able to sit in it. The quality looks OK, I was lookign at panel gaps and feel of switches. I wouldn't say it was junk. The styling was pretty lack-luster. I am planning on driving a V6 from a local dealer, they have 2 in stock. The car looks awesome on the outside. They totally got the shape right. All that to say, there is no way would I not get the camaro. The pricing on the Challenger is $21K for the V6 and optioned it is $24-25 if you get leather and roof. fbodfather don't fail us now. everytime he tells us to calm down we end up happy... he is telling us to calm down on the pricing... I'm guessing the V6 will be $21-22 the V8 $26-27 (fingers crossed, holding breathe).
