Size Comparison.. Camaro vs Challenger
based on wheelbase length given in video..(i did not make this one, found it posted on another site.. can't vouch for it's accuracy.. and i also have no idea where they got a straight on side profile shot)
Camaro:
110.5" Wheelbase
186.2" Length
Challenger:
116.0" Wheelbase
197.8" Length
Camaro:
110.5" Wheelbase

Challenger:

Re: Size Comparison.. Camaro vs Challenger
Wow sweet work, where'd you get the side profile shot of the Camaro anyway? I've missed that one. (EDIT - Doh, my reading comprehension is working quite well...)
Are the heights of the cars really proportional? Damn that Challenger is massive...

Re: Size Comparison.. Camaro vs Challenger
Your dimensions on the Challenger are a bit off.
Here's the press release on the Challenger:

And here are some bigger, different pics of the Challenger:

I read somewhere that Dodge built the car proportionate to the chassis of the 300C. One of the end prototypes built was one in which they had this huge engine compartment with a relatively small cabin and rest of the body. So to compensate for this massive front end, they adjusted the dimensions of pretty much everything.
Now this muscle car is huge!

I read somewhere that if Dodge built the car proportionate to the chassis of the 300C, while slightly making it smaller. In other words, this muscle car is huge!

after viewing the R&T video..there is a shot , directly side on, where it pans from left to right.. i assume one could take a shot of the front, and then the back, from there, and line them up and combine them to form one image
these images i did capture from the video:

Re: Size Comparison.. Camaro vs Challenger
The one thing that I do like about this concept is the length. I think that is the perfect length for the Camaro. If the size comparison to the Challenger is right, then the height looks pretty good too. Now all we need is a size comparison to the Mustang.

Re: Size Comparison.. Camaro vs Challenger
On closer inspection of the size comparison pic, it can't be right. Look at the front end of the Camaro as compared to the Challenger. Half of the Camaro is below the Challengers front facia. That can't be right. Cameras can play some tricks with your eyes on profile shots depending on the distance away from the car.

i decided to do my own version..
the pic of the challenger is the original unedited pic.. i just pasted a scaled camaro over top of it.. and lined up the bottom of the front wheels
