New Hemi Challenger vs. New Camaro SS
Sorry if this has been done already. If so just tell me and I'll try to cancel the thread.
Anyways, which do you think would win the 1/4 drag race between a new Hemi Challenger, and the new (possibly supercharged from the factory) Camaro SS? Both of which will come out in the next few years.

Re: New Hemi Challenger vs. New Camaro SS
Lets see:
A car from Chrysler where the final engine, horsepower, weight, and gearing figures haven't been done, finalized, or published versus a car whose engine not only is in not production, and not only do we not know what it's going to be (at least publicly), but whose horsepower, weight, and gearing figures haven't even gotten to the stage where it even "might" be done, finalized, or published, and is still at a couple of years away from that point.
If you want pure speculation, then the new titanium bodied Javelin from the reconstructed American Motors with it's miniture nuclear powered engine is going to smoke bothe the Camaro SS and the Hemi Challenger.
I'm glad you had that "Why do are you taking e a poll..with no actual specs." option on your poll.

Re: New Hemi Challenger vs. New Camaro SS
Who cares? I just wanna cruise around in my Camaro without even worrying about it's strip potential. I'm just gonna enjoy it's virtues, of which there will be many.
I've learnt my lessons with my worked Commodore... I'll leave drag racing for the experts... as well as those with deeper pockets than I.

Re: New Hemi Challenger vs. New Camaro SS
Eh, it's an interesting what if. My guess is the weight will kill the Challenger unless they go really extreme w/ the engine. I'm figuring they'll be using a warmed over version of the 425hp engine in the SRT-8s by the time the Challenger hits the streets, I don't think it will get it done versus a LS2 or LS3 level Camaro that should be a decent bit lighter...
I do look forward to the inevitable magazine shootouts...
