Curb weight for your Widebody 392 4274, add 200 for a driver=9.22 lbs/hp

Curb weight for 2SS Camaro 3696, add 200 for a driver=8.56 lbs/hp

Curb weight for 1SS Camaro 3685, add 200 for a driver=8.54 lbs/hp

I love this post, by your reasoning:

Curb weight for LT1 camaro (M6 no options) 3610, -30 lbs muffler delete) 3580, add 200 for a driver = 8.30 lbs/hp

Love the whole “having a baby need a Scat Pack” vibe, but not the Charger... they just can’t be rationalized (in any light), as a nice looking ride! Yes,yes, this is my opinion... but come on! Don’t make me list some other four door options (not sure what I would come up with), just please NO!

Kia Stinger... no wait
Subaru WRX STI... no wait
BMW M3...
Nissan Maxima...

Now I’ll stop offending people.

Keep the Camaro and get this? Gotta love the Pontiac Grand Safari! 5 doors, 5300lbs and a 455 V8.

Honestly, I would buy the Grand Safari in a heartbeat if one crossed my path.

Unfortunately, I believe the same can be said for the Charger 392 as we do for the Camaro... what other car can we get that offers, what the car offers, at the same price point?

That Pontiac is sa-WEEETT!!!

Everything happens for a reason I believe and I LOVE my Camaro. BUT if I could have found a good deal on a 392 charger I would have jumped on it. Same reason you suggest more room. Even looked at a hellcat that was 2 years older but it was 55K so I passed as well. I personally believe if you need the space the charger is a good option.

I mean if you need the room I suppose you could do worse. This isn't a bad looking car, especially for a 4 door.

Yep, I agree...

I work for a reason and if I was putting practical thoughts to all of them, I wouldn't own any of them. I have guns I haven't shot in 3+ years...

Yeah what he said. My 2SS is a toy as is my RZR. They are not practical purchases for me. They were strictly about the fun!
My daily is 2500 Silverado (not practical either but I love it and that is all there is to that). My wife drives a Lexus LS430 because she likes it.

Do what you feel is right and makes you happy at the end of the day.

I would love the hellcat but now we’re dipping into the mid-$70ks, and on top of that insurance goes way up. I’m not really interest in buying used..

I agree! I was debating the wide body, but I’m not sure I can justify paying the extra $6k for it. That seems like an awful premium to pay.

This is my dad's car that I learned to drive back in the day, and also took my driving test with. I passed, then surprised a few muscle car drivers at stoplights. Needless to say, I've been a car guy ever since.

The Camaro and Charger are not competitors in any sense of the word, starting with the number of doors. As for the Challenger, I'm not overweight, so my performance car isn't either.

Couldn't help but notice that 0-60mph takes 6.9 seconds but 0-100kph (=62mph) takes 7.8 seconds. Something ain't right . . .
Of course it says 40.8 seconds to 200 km/h, so maybe it is right lol.

Sleeper! As I said before I'd like to see these old muscle cars performance wise with modern street tires. When I see them on youtube at drag strips with modern tires they seem to time better than tested back when they originally came out.

Yeah the numbers are right and the LTD was a land yacht too! Of course the 429 wasn’t the same as the Boss 429 engine but ran good in its day for what it was.👍

I just sold my scatpack and Ordered a 2ss lol. Car had a funky trans and whining rear from day one so I was never happy. Took it to a million dealers that did nothing. By the time I got rid of it the interior all rattled just driving around and it only had 28k miles. Also they’re all having major fit and finish issues in the interior with door panels separating and Uconnect screens delaminating right around the time they go out of warranty. Hoping for a better experience with a Camaro.. blindly ordered one.
