What would you choose between those and the 2019 SS A10.
Pros and Cons you have about them

With the sweet HP rebate out there the Scat can be had for $32,600 plus tax title and doc.
That's pretty sweet if you don't mind the heft and like burnouts.

One piece of advice as a multi-Ram (FCA) owner, sell it before the warranty ends or buy the extended.
YOU WILL HAVE ELECTRICAL GREMLINS!!

I was a little sketchy putting the power down because it fishtailed on me. The 245 tires are definitely not the best for the boat. The SS just handles everything better for sure.

Which is why I think spending the money for the widebody is the best option. It of course has 305 tires all around, multi-damping suspension, not to mention line lock, and a few other goodies that are standard on the Hell Kitties. But it is still a little heavier and has a higher center of gravity. Now, if the choice were between a scat pack and a fifth gen Camaro, I'd do the Scat Pack all day. (unless ZL1)

That said, I love my 6th Gen SS and am not looking back, regardless of my easy access to a Scat Pack if I want it.

So if you choose a Camaro plan on keeping it a long time so that will not matter to you.

Is this a real thing? My plan for if/when I get an SS is to jump in December, will I really see 20% deals?

Do you want a muscle car with room for 5, or a sports car with room for only 4. Thats the question. Otherwise they are pretty close. I've owned both, so I know.

If you put 4 people in a 6th gen, two of them are going to be pissed off midgets!

This! They are both great, fun cars, but with completely different approaches. The Challenger is the last of the 2 door intermediate muscle cars. Even though it drives like a brute, it’s surprisingly nimble and the size gives the vehicle a charm. It’s a fun vehicle with power everywhere in the powerband.

The Camaro is a true sports. Outside of straight line speed, it’s going to crush the Challenger. Even though, it really comes down to what you’re looking for as both vehicles are very fun to drive.

So the deal I had for the Camaro 35K OTD went out the door when they told me it sold AS SOON as I went in the dealer.
The best they could give me was 39K OTD on a 1SS, is that a good deal?

So i'm between the Camaro and the Widebody Scat Pack Challenger. the widebody they quoted me 42K OTD. are these both good deals? or should I keep looking for a better price

I drove a manual SP. I wouldn't even consider the Auto in any of these cars. Technically the Auto shifts faster.

Yeh technically faster, but its questionable when watching this guy shift.

I test drove both not long ago and have a 2019 2SS

For me, I can't get pass the feeling of a Camaro. It's just buried deep in my soul. The Camaro feels like you're sitting in a cramped cockpit and I love that. The Challenger is the polar opposite, its spacious and feels like a typical car as far as the seating and interior.

I've owned many Camaro's over my time. The Challenger looks great and Is the perfect car for many. But give me little room and the feeling that I'm strapped into a fighter jet over the vintage muscle car interior

[c4racer]

don't use OTD prices - we don't know where you are, what your local taxes and fees look like etc. What is the sale price of the car itself?

FWIW - I bought a new 2016 1SS convertible around this time of year for $35K, but the incentives were stronger then. Sticker was $44K.

[Calvear0]

Sticker on the camaro was $41k
The widebody sticker is at $48k

For less than $10k more, you could get a brand new 2019 Challenger Hellcat.
