Dan,
Do you have any pictures of the Black Challenger? One of my co-workers has a Black one on order but hasn't been able to find any photos.

I like the look of the new Challenger but its a little too rounded to me. I prefer sharper lines.
So I also like the Camaro, I think it looks very retro, sharp and sleek.
It would be pretty awesome to see both at a stoplight

Ouch. That car hurts me. What a beastly beauty! Two things:

1. Shaker Hood (or T/A hood as a suitable substitute)
2. Billboards in dark gray or red ...."HEMI"

Looks like it got chopped short in the rear and the lower body line is just plain flat with no character. The retro Mustang also has a very flat body line which doesn't look right. It might be the lack of lower body molding the throws off the lines but it doesn't come as close to the original as the first prototype did.

I like them both... Will the Camaro be a 40+ grand car too? If so they might as well forget about it.

All I know these cars are finally getting styling where you can tell them apart from a block away---That's how I remember it. That generic styling that the auto industry was shoveling out I was beginning to think the designers were on prozac. ...To me they're taking a step in the direction---Yep even the Camaro(not quite retro, but the heritage is there----IMHO)....
