Those two are getting changes as well.

I don't see the Z28 coming in anywhere near that low of a price though.

Sometimes, you get what you pay for.

so i guess the same applies to buying a srt8 over a camaro ss, both have similar engines except chevy was smart and priced it to sell.

so now that the challenger lowered it's price you are gonna go the other way.?

Its about being a better value. Simply put, the Challenger SRT8 isn't a good value. I don't feel that the SRT8 is worth ~$10,000 more than an SS (or Mustang GT or Challenger R/T), and I do feel that a Z28 (or GT500) will be worth the ~$5000 more than an SRT8.

DING DING! Get ready for it LOL. It'll be reversed now. Yes the Z28 may be a little quicker and handle a little better, but it still won't have SRT8s room or features and it will still cost more. It'll just be a matter what you are looking for.

yea i agree. but it's just a mtter of personal preference. one isnt a better value than the other. the ss was the better value but when the z28 comes out the srt8 will be the better value in my eyes. especially if it's 5000+ cheaper.

I agree, give up a few ponies but get a far more comfortable car and save $5000 in the process......

yea but like i said it comes down to personal preference. alot of guys here would take the z28 no matter what. either way i know many on here would take a challenger if there was no camaro and the same goes for me if there were no challenger.
