I personally love my Challenger my only peeves are the steering, I prefer the steering to be a bit more natural feeling like the Camaro is. The quality of the car is very good, i prefer the boston acoustics system in my dads Chrysler over the Kicker system in my Challenger. The automatic isn't too bad but I prefer the 6 speed I have. As for torque and power you wouldn't think there would be a huge difference between the 5.7 and 6.1 but the torque in my Challenger sits you back alot more than the 300. The ride is really good alot less firm than the Camaro.... And don't let people fool you when they say the Challenger is a boat compared to the Camaro, it's actually not that much bigger. You'll have more headroom and less blindspots aswell.
If you can come up with any questions post them.
I had the pleasure to drive all 3 cars.
With that said, if the bank will let me I can see a Hotwheels SS in my future lol.
Keep in mind there is a HUGE difference between the 5.7 Hemi in the 08 300C and the more powerful VVT version in 09+ cars, especially the Challenger.
