I've decided to cop one of these cars by around the Fall and was wondering....

A) Which is easier to drive? (I'm 20 and have little experience with muscle cars)

B) Which is better for everyday use?

C) Which would get me more play?

D) Which has better built quality and durability?

    R/T SRT8 For challengers are fast

    SS Z71 for Camaro are fast too.

    They're both great for everyday use.

    The camaros have had recalls lately...the challengers are reliable

    I was wrestlin w/ this decision then decided to cop the challenger. Now every time i see a camaro i break my neck lol

    The camaro def has more eye appeal, but somethin about ridin around in that big body that did it for me.

    Both are dope cars
    Camaro looks more of sport car now a days while the Challenger still looks like a muscle car.

    but to answer the questions


    A) Which is easier to drive? (I'm 20 and have little experience with muscle cars)


    I never driven a camaro but the challenger rides nice but I feel boxed in there's too many blindspots in the car and I heard the camaro has them to.

    B) Which is better for everyday use?

    Challenger,never heard a complain about the way they preform and are reliable as well.



    C) Which would get me more play?


    Probably the camaro since ? would drive on it.

    D) Which has better built quality and durability?

    Challenger, camaros stay going in the shop

    So you have the Challenger sweeping everything except the exterior look bc chicks like it better.... i drove a Camaro before (not a Challenger) and you can't see ? and gotta make moves off instinct a lot of times, so i guess it's even when it comes to driving.... The main reason it's hard for me to decide is bc the Challenger has a lil more room in the back seat..

    If both will be 2011 models get the Camaro SS, it ? on the Challenger R/T of the same year performance wise.

    Menace...? not tryna pay a $675 car note on a damn 2015 lol.It really all comes down to which one you think is best fit and or how much you have and is willing to spend...unless your credit is decent.

    675 a month? You must not put money down when you cop cars

    If his credit is good and he drops 5k he's looking at a 450payment /72 months

    IMO 72 months is too long to be financing a car, I think that was a way for companies to put people in cars they really can't afford. 48-56 month is perfect imo.

    Interesting article on that
    "It can have some negative impact on the market in creating a vicious cycle of negative equity if the consumer doesn't hold onto their vehicle long enough," Melinda Zabritski, senior director of automotive finance for Experian, said. "Something has to be done to keep the market affordable, or consumer buying is going to have to change and we'll have to return to less frequent purchases

    Its up to you... pure performance id say get the challenger.Your chances of it needing repair is less likely,they are both great for everyday use if thats going to be your everyday car...the SS are a lil bit faster but i think the r/t challengers look and sound better...nothing like the sound of that v-8 Hemi engine cranking up!!!! holl on im bout to to start mine now!!! brb

    Thank u bruh!

    If someone is locked in or thinkin' about gettin into a 6 year loan he's hustlin' backwards. Ur really jus buying something you're over extending yourself (and paying a grip more in interest) for.

    Although I do see Menace's p.o.v. b/c after all, he's a car sales man. He'll put a nikka in a 30 year arm mortgage if he could to get that commission. lol
