Thanks for all the opinions. I have drove a 2011 Camaro and it felt good. I will drive both when I'm home. I'm going with a V6 and automatic for sure. It's going to my main transportation in the good weather months. With frequent long trips.

Camaro...even the SS pushes like a dump truck (and heavy as one too!).  It's an ill handling pig out of the box.  I haven't driven the Challenger yet, but I know it's heavy too.

i take it you haven't driven one?? or at least not in the past 20 years? drive a 2010 ls all the time and for a v6 it's fast it's rated at 306 horses and has more than that,

Drove a 2012 SS.  Turns like a pig.  Sorry, but I ran it HARD into some turns and it didn't.  No opinion here, fact.  I wanted to like it, but it needs work to make it handle.  That's all I was saying.

I think you might wanna take some driving lessons or something. I have driven an SS around Gingerman and it handled very well. Especially for a bone stock road car. It kept up with my buddies CMC car with no trouble at all
Luv my truck but still wish it was a BOWTIE!!!!

Definitely was boasting the car not my"Super Stardom". Wasn't saying I am the next Michael Andretti just that I felt the car handled very well.

Yeah, so that's why I need driving lessons?  The demonstration cars that GM brought to our test facility last fall handled like p00.  Just sayin'.  You have no idea about my level of experience, so maybe you should refrain from judgement.

I love the challenger, but I only drove the V6 camaro, get the auto with paddle shifters, that way if you want to run down that rustang and wait for him at the next light you can. I was all smiles with them, and the power to weight ratio with the V6 is nil, it'll still throw you back in the seat when you nail it.

I work at GM so I would have to buy a camaro before the challenger any day! 
Hopefully Hell has a Mudpit!!!

Im a HUGE Camaro fan but I HATE the new looks of that Camaro. I would go with the charger,challenger myself. Looks why bad ass. Again just my opinion.
LIVE HARD, BOGG HARD, DIE MUDDY!!!

I have a 2010 SS camaro and love it 426hp and as far as that guy saying it will only burnout for 3 feet the traction control was probably on. even with my traction control on if im rolling about 10 mph and floor it, it wants to go sideways on me.
