That red SS looks amazing!

I'd definately go with the SS over the SRT8.

If i were buying a new car i'd probably go with the challenger. with a nice color/rims/drop they just look so clean, love their simple/sleek design (i dont care for any of the ones you posted though... bad rim choices).

but the black SS up there is a camaro that definitely would make it a tough decision. It's truly amazing what rims and a drop can do to a cars appearance, because right off the factory line, 5th gens certainly aren't the best looking cars.

i agree, wheels and a drop makes a car
As far as the inside, God the challenger has more room and is 2x more comfortable then the ss, i just trust gm cars/trucks.... i hear bad things about dodge, but it seams they have made a damn good product..... and when i say im wanting to buy a ''new'' car i mean a ''new'' used car lol

I work at a Dodge Dealership and I can tell you the Challengers drive amazing! So much more room then the Camaro and they hit the retro styling better than anyone else. The only thing the Camaro has over the Challenger is that it has a much better aftermarket b/c of the LS series engines. My dream car = Challenger w/ LS3

And you've got a Vette in there.

That black SS, wow! First 5th gen I've actually drooled over. It actually doesn't look huge for once to me.

the first pic of the black SS does it for me. I have not been a fan of the new 5th gens at all. At least until I saw one that recieved the right attention that in my opinion every one of those things need. Just my opinion though.

You know why, right? It is a Chrysler 300

As far as retro styling goes, yes the Dodge has it more. But also, that's the direction they wanted, while GM didn't want quite as much retro in the Camaro. Little different approach, to appeal to different people.

To be honest, I find the Challenger a little boring looking... But that's me, and I'm also a Camaro guy to the bone, so...
