Traded my LS camaro for...... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Yep.... I did it! traded my LS for a Challenger R/T. I wasn't happy with the V6 power... i only had it for three months. Think i would've been happier if i got the SS to begin with but you live and you learn

. Gotta sweet deal on the challenger, and i must say I love it....

No deals on an SS?

sschevybear11 · 10-08-2011, 06:08 PM

I really like them but my wife said camaro if we got a new toy.

Camaro731 · 10-08-2011, 06:21 PM

I am very very happy with my power..haven't even tested it yet.

ChallengerR/T is a pretty nice car. To me at least not quite at the level of an SS Camaro.

Now the new SRT 392 is a really nice car. That car is awesome.

If I had 43k to spend on a car it would be on the new challenger 392. The r/t is a great car and the looks are top notch, good fer you. We could use some pics please.

I've liked the Chally's since day 1 and was actuallly considering going that route before my bro-in-law "talked" me into my SS. It's very convenient having family as part of management at the local Chevy store.

Anyway, it would've been a toss up between a Chally SRT8 and my SS but for $8K cheaper I drove my SS off the showroom floor. Don't regret my decision at all but can't help but drool whenever I see a Challenger.

Congrats. Sorry the Camaro didnt work out for you, they are awesome cars. Start saving now for a SS or ZL-1 down the road!

Challengers are cool. Too bad you probably spent as much or more on an R/T as you would have on an SS Camaro. If the SRT8 Challengers were comparably priced to the 2SS Camaro, I might be driving one now. Unfortunately for Dodge, they're priced in Corvette territory (real world prices). I'd never even consider an R/T.

Pics r coming soon guys!!!! I loved my camaro but like I said I would've loved it more if I had the SS!!! Don't get me wrong... It's a strong V6 but still not an SS!! They gave me 21K for my LS and only owed 23 and some change. I got the RT for 28K at a 3.9 interest rate so I don't think it was a bad deal.. My chevy dealer wanted 32 for SS I wanted...
