Camaro/Challenger side by side

Saw this and figured it's worth posting here

camaro is lower...but the guy is in the way so you can't tell if it's wider or not.

i am really feeling both of these cars now. the challenger is sexy as hell but definitely too tall. the camaro is something i would consider buying now.

I feel like the challenger looks completely different in person wheras the Camaro looks just as top notch as its pictures. Its clearly not as retro though which I think is sorta a good thing.

Challenger and Camaro are similar in width, but lenght and hight are different.

I dunno which interior is uglier. Challenger made me think I was sitting in a Dodge ram

I do like Dodge Ram though, just not as a car..

I've seen both in person and like them for different reasons. The Camaro is the modern car. It has a menacing look to it, the kind where if you were to get in a starring contest with you'd never have a chance winning. The Challenger on the other hand is the old-school bruiser that says muscle car the minute you see it and reminds you of a simpler time.

No, v6 has the closed hood, v8 has open nostril. RS package has no effect on that.

RS = appearance package
SS = V8 package

Why does the Firebird look longer then the Camaro? They look pretty similar in size, but Camaro's porportions are just more over the top. Higher belt line, larger wheels, longer wheel base, heavier rake windshield, aggressive nose, etc etc.

See after seeing that TA against it I think its the rear of the camaro that steers away from the classic look. The body line rises up and stays there on the new one wheras the cars of yesteryear came up and then faded down halfway back. Plus the ass is just too short.

I still love it though.

I like both of them. And I don't really care too much about what the interior is like. As long as there are gauges and they work, it's good enough for me.
