Default Hotter than a C6 ?



"and i stare in awe at the beauty of this magnificent machine. Price, can only be that deciding factor, or a challenging photo of equivalent quality by the arch-rival, Challenger"

I looked at it a little at the auto show. It seemed pretty cool, and I might be interested in one as a DD somewhere down the road. I actually test drove the Challenger R/T and I REALLY liked it alot.

I never buy the first model year of any car. It's usually just asking for trouble. And I am gonna be looking for a 2yr old car, so a 2009 Challenger in two years or a 2011 Camaro in about 3 years.

I haven't seen the new Camaro but I really like the styling, I hope it's smaller than the Challenger which I think is a bit too cheap inside and just too damn big outside.

It doesn't seem smaller than the Challenger to me, but it seems better proportionned. Seems a little wider and a little less lengthy, and a tad less tall. But overall seems very close in size to the Challenger. Don't know the exact numbers though.

BTW -- I wouldn't consider either the Challenger or the Camaro to be "hotter" than the C6. They are both big, heavy cars designed to cruise around, and go reasonably quick in a straight line.
