Got rid of the Charger SRT8 and picked up a 2013 Camaro SS. Now the C5 Z06 and my 71 Stingray have a new roommate.

I like it..really nice car. Feels well built, handles great just lacks a little in the power department. Nothing a few mods wont take care of. The SRT 8 had some mods so it was faster but the Camaro SS is a better built car, no doubt in my mind.

Nice! What do you drive when the weather's crappy though??

How would you compare the SRT8 to the Camaro? Did you have a 425hp or 470hp version?

I had an 07 Charger SRT8 with an cai, 90mm TBI and tune. SRT was faster but not as well built as the Chevy. Both great cars. Camaro is the daily driver for now..just ordered a bunch of bolt ons for the LS3
