My wife agreed when we bought the minivan that I could buy whatever car I want after a few years well I have been to the auto show and I am loving either getting a camaro or challenger. Which do you guys think is the car of choice?

I vote for challenger

I vote for the Challenger as well!

Mind you, I buy practically everything based on looks, including my own car, lol. Both cars look similar to me, but the Challenger looks awesome!

I like the Camaro myself...but then I know nothing about cars other than looks. They are both awesome...hmmmm .....mini van vs sports car.....I think I would be jealous of my dh...or course I have to admit I have fun when I drive our 98 firebird we bought our daughter....I cant imagine how fun driving one of those cars would be. Have fun shopping!!!

Ya the mustang gt I have always considered but the HP is lacking big time. The challenger RT is 375Hp and Mustang GT is 250Hp.

The camaro is rumored to have 400HP and a light car at that so will be super quick but to be honest I have always wanted an old muscle car but have no idea how to work on them so the challenger is my dream car.

With 400-etc HP, I hope it comes with a tow bar to pull a supplementary gas tank around!

Challenger, for looks. Either one for torque.

Nice forum add-on.

I like both. Have always wanted a Challenger and would probably go with that one. It looks easier to get out of.

IMHO- I would go for the camaro. I have had 2 Dodge cars- they both were brand new and gave me nothing but problems. My Chevy malibu (bouth used and is my oldest car I have now) is approaching 100,000 mi. and is great- no problems at all...I love the car. I hope I didn't just curse myself by saying that....lol

Camaro. I used to have a midnight blue '68 Camaro. I loved that thing. 327, 4BBL. Wow, she was fast. But, I bought a '99 Durango with 1.5 miles on it and before it had 37,000 miles, it had two new complete engine replacements. I will never own another Chrysler product again. I have to admit that the Challenger looks nice though.

Of those two, I'd say Camaro, but I'd really buy a 335i, or if you don't need the four seats, a base Corvette

I would get the Camero but with the gas price going higher and higher, I am thinking of getting the Honda CR-Z hybrid when it comes out next year.
