Too bad GM didn't have a direct competitor to the Dodge Challenger. You know something like a retro based "Chevelle" model complete with stripes, cowl induction and the LGX/LT1/LT4/LT5 powerplant options.
Yeah, I know. I'm just dreaming..... |

Chevrolet SS. It was almost named Chevelle. But it had a 415 hp LS3 and was a pretty good performing car. Volume was limited because it was imported from Australia. Last year was 2017. Guy in my office has one.

Practicality is different for each person. If I wanted a cool car and had to haul kids around all the time I would go with the Challenger, or Charger if they made a manual. Only occasionally will I have someone in my back seat. As long as the passenger in the passenger seat can slide up there is no issue with the back seat. So far all who have sat back there have been 5'9 or less and not big and fat. Anyone over 6' will need to slump down or take a bus. |

The Chevelle was a beautiful car. To call the ugly SS a Chevelle would have been blasphemous.

I didn't think too much about the marketing issue figuring if you want a sports car you did your homework. So the majority of people know what's out there, Wrong!
Long story short I attended a local car show of about 70 cars for the first time since buying the ZL1 this past weekend. I couldn't believe the amount of people asking questions or commenting with excitement looking her over for the first time. They were truly unfamiliar with the car and this for the most part form car enthusiasts. |

I could put my softball bag, bat, golf clubs and golf shoes all in the trunk of the Mustang and keep them in there all summer and still be able to pick up someone if I had to. Can't do that in the Camaro. There is your more practical |

@martinjm @kinglt1 @mackprivatesteeleeye
Good points, though for me its slightly more practical. I'd just have a midsize or small SUV for errands/daily driving and a sport/muscle car on the side. If I can't afford to own both then midsize SUV it is. Until I can afford a fun car on the side. No way I dd any of those cars in Michigan winters with the potholes/salt/snow/lack of AWD. Would absolutely dd them in a warm state tho. |
