The Challenger is essentially a 2 door version of the Dodge Charger which incidently I have driven stateside. The interior is not its strong point and certainly not as cockpit like compared to SS and XR8. First batch of Chargers sold will be a slusher only. 2nd batch series II will have a manuals.

Camaro is being tested currently and a big chunk of the development is done byAussie engineers from Holden. I will take a punt that the Camaro will handle very nicely.

Either way these cars will walk out of the showroom. Considering petrol prices are where they are, this will be last hurrah like the late 60's of the big American trio's bringing affordable muscle cars on the table.

So Mustang GT 500KR, Dodge Challenger SRT8 or Camaro, take your pick!!!!

I saw this baby yesterday on the Monash at about 6:30 PM. He flew up behind me fairly quick and I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough for any decent shots. The presence that this car had on the road was unbelievable. It was an awesome sight in the mirrors.

Sorry about the poor quality shots.

Cheers

This car does nothing for me.....I don't think anything could convince me to buy one, unless the salesman through-in the optional transformer extra.

Saw one myself on the Monash yesterday near Pakey at about 6:15PM. Wasn't that one though, it was all zebra'd up in camo.

Looks very big and bulky.
