When I went to look at the Challenger they told me not to buy a Camaro because it had TOO MUCH POWER!!!! GM hadn't figured out how to keep the frame from twisting.
I did laugh in their face and told them that was the worst sales pitch ever.

TOO MUCH POWER AND TORQUE!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA

I would not have been able to contain myself on that one. I would have all the way back to my car and drove off out the window.

Some of the comments on there make it seem like their blind. Have they not seen the interior of their own cars? They are really misinformed. I mean I understand they are a Challenger forum but that dosen't mean they shouldn't know their competition. We're a Camaro forum and we collectivelly know just about as much of the Camaro as we do Mustang and Challenger.

GM hasn't figured out how to keep the frame from twisting? Right, when we lift the front tires of the ground about a foot!!

They're looking through biased eyes at the Camaro, but I'm not. If I liked the Challenger more, even at its higher price, I'd be buying one, but I don't. The sharp lines and overall exterior styling sell the Camaro for me. The console stack is a little strange, but overall the "different" dash/console look is appealing to me just because it doesn't look like all the others out there today. And of course what good is screaming power in an ugly body, not much to me...it would just remind me of my ex...OOOHH!!

Wow some of those people are ignorant as hell


wow i found this post he sounds like 13 year old kid who dosent now what he is talking about
its NOT ME!!!!

I think it looks like an over priced piece of crap. GM's sad attempt to battle Dodge's Challenger. GM failed poorly!!! More HP, less HP, doesn't matter because the Challenger is more original looking, and kept true to the vintage appeal, and the new Camaro looks nothing like any Camaro I've ever seen, even the man himself JAY LENO said it didn't look like Camaro. When I first saw the car in the 2008 Transformers movie, I thought it looked pretty sweet. Atleast our car looks pretty much the same as the CONCEPT!!! They made the Camaro looks like a modern version of that piece of sh*t car the Pontiac Sunfire and gave it a fancy hood. I say "Nice try GM, but once again, you've lost to Dodge!!!" On the road, or in the ditch, Chevy will once again be MOPARS BI#%H!

^i think this guy got beat by many camaro's in his lifetime

he Called it OVERPRICED?????? wow maybe he should do some reaserch before he makes himself look like a fool

some people on that site are smart they know GM has made a good competitor and they have made a good car

lol i like his false saying at the end because he going to be loosing all the races not the camaro

How can they say that the challenger atleast looks like its concept, if you put the production model next to the concept its hard to tell them apart if you wern't diehards like us that know everything about it haha.

OK, I have to ask why you guys give a crap what they're saying on a Dodge Challenger enthusiast forum? Just don't go over there to read it. Seems simple to me.

Unsub'd from dis joka of a thread.

LOL, I liked the one that disagreed about the 0-60 time. After he found out it was correct for 31000$, he never rejoined the conversation
