I actually like the way the Challenger looks better but they are both sick cars, and I would love to have either one.
And I'll race you in my friends 73 Camaro. They're huge and heavy...
edit: and they run 13.0 stock so I don't see why they couldn't break into the 12's with an intake and exhaust. but I'm sure you could get some of the corvettes ls3 engine mods and be wicked fast.

its a special order....its the Ls3 with a auto manual..with paddle shift.....i know that corsa makes an exhaust for it....i also heard that just with intake and exhaust they will run 12s..dunno if its true but that what i heard
Do it and find out....ya know, for the rest of us.
I have to ask a dumb question but how do you like the Camaro? Fit and finish up to what you expected , granted it is new but I was curious , I have been eyeing them.

Pretty simple really, it's an over weight pig, too wide, too long and too cheap on the interior. I prefer the new Mustang interior and the car in general over the Camaro and Challenger. The Mustang pulls .98G with a live axle while the lard a*s Camaro can barely pull .85 with it's fancy IRS. GM lost the idea of what the Camaro is supposed to represent, cheap, fast and affordable. That's where the Mustang always shines. And just think, the new GT only has 315hp for now........wait until it gets the 400hp 5.0 later!!

i agree on the fact that the mustang do look sweet.. but i personally think the camaro looks nice.. it may be bigger.. but its sexyy as hell..
I've gotta agree that the challenger and camaro have better body styling. I just think that the mustang is too bland until you get into the higher end packages... shelby, etc. The basic GTs just look boring to me and they are also the slowest of the 3. I like the looks of the challenger but I think its too big and bulky, you need the 6.1 to be fast and you're talking 40k+. I like the camaro because it falls in the middle, satisfying the big 3 aspects of looks, power, and price.

I don't care how ugly/cheap you think the camaro is you still have to respect that ls3!! was it 330 cfm on the stock head? besides at least they actually tested it on the nurburgring and showed at least a little interest in the handling dept. That car is a bargain for the engine alone RESPECT
I wish my former 300srt8 had half the potential the ls3 did or I'd have kept it...but now I'm in my 997 and would never run you on the highway
