Re: Challenger hate thread.
This is an interesting thread.
I am an old time Mopar fan. Always have been. Before leaving for Detroit, I have to admit, I was leaning towards the Challenger based on the pics. (running ducking zigging zaggin rolling and digging a hole to China and hiding from Fbodfather after posting that)
Now having seen both in person. The Challenger is still nice, but it had no "presense" compared to the Camaro concept. It wasnt even close.
The other thing... as illustrated by the weight of the Challenger concept. That car is big. Really big.

Re: Challenger hate thread.
I love the challenger. My only concerns with it are weight, transmission choice and price, not looks.
I like the new stang. My gripe with it is its tiny motor and larger weight.
I love the new camaro, I dont like its tail end from the pictures and the fact that it isnt being made yet.

Why? Because that will give GM even more incentive to build the Camaro even better, and maybe even sooner. It would be awesome to have the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger on the streets.

Funny how a 400HP Pontiac from GM called GTO is never mentioned in the same breath as the other three.
And make no mistake the GTO will be around for awhile.

But regardless of that, doesn't it make you wonder WHY it isn't mentioned?
