Re: modern day USA muscle cars
If you want performance go Camaro unless you are tall. We were trying to decide between a Camaro SS and a Challenger R/T. I took both out and I was hooked on the Challenger. The Camaro is very tight if you are over 6', and the back seat is a joke. I have a 3 year old and another kid on the way so this was our best option. I also like the more retro look of the Challenger. It does not have the performance of the Camaro stock. The Challenger SRT is pretty much equal in performance but about 10k more. I have changed a few things on my R/T and I am running 362 hp to the rear wheels. The mods were less than 1k. CAI, custom tune, and removed the center muffler.

thanks for the info !
I also think the Dodge is the best deal for me. I love the way it looks, options, ... and it does have some room in the back.

frenzy it depends on how big of a hurry u are in. granted im a huge mustang fan and have 4 of them. but id hold out untill the 2012 model comes out. they are in talkd of puttin the 5.0l back in it 468hp outta the gt. that car would be amazing. depends on what you are looking for. ive got 3 friends that bought the challangers and traded them in. they have lots of power on paper but when u drove them they are slow. way too heavy. i cant comment on the maro. i havnt drove one but they look good. u could always just pick up a gt500?

extreme speed / muscle ain't that important to me. I'm sure the Challenger is fast enough for me. I don't plan on driving fast anyway. Looks and inside room are more important to me. And, the fact that it's an american (muscle) car of course !

I love this car. Looking wise it is fabulous. I think if you want to purchase any car then you will definitely buy this.
Thanks
