I like the looks of the Dodge Challenger prototype better than the Camaro.

You should see them in person then. The Camaro is a real car that can actually drive with real gauges. It has absolutely flawless paint, the body panel alignment is perfect. The Challenger is nowhere near a real car. Sure it looks nice in photos and from a distance but the "exposed carbon fiber" on the hood and header panel look like some traders village stickers. The gauges look like what you'd see in one of the 25 cent rides at the mall.

Now the Chrylser Imperial, that was a badass looking car. You can tell the Chrysler engineers blew their prototype budget on that one and just kind of threw the Challenger together.

Dodge needs to step up with the Challenger because that sad excuse for a muscle car (Charger) is horrible.

I was at the private official unveiling of the Camaro here in Dallas. To be honest with you not only do I like the Challenger better but I think the Mustang GT500 looks better than the Camaro.
