They are $45k US so thats £27k the Corvettes and Vipers usually come down to USD par.
The challengers seem not to. On that basis they are a good import.

You can buy a C6 Z06 pretty reasonably priced they are the real bargains.

thing is while the 'Vette is nice - I really prefer the Challenger (no accounting for taste!!) I'd even be tempted to get it wrapped/resprayed sub-lime wink

Challenger also weighs a ton, more than the camaro, its based on a sedan platform. So basically large sedan size.
Big car for UK. Mustang is the best all-round bet for UK by a distance - unless you can step up to a Vette.

Just got back from 3 weeks in the US and rented a Camaro in Vegas for the day, a mate of mine had a Challenger and we swapped cars for a bit. After driving mine i found the interior of the Challenger dull and it seemed dated even from a retro point of view. I guess its was due to it being a 4 year old design whereas the Camaro was a couple of years later. Both cars looked amazing and the Camaro sounded awesome, the Challenger was muted and just didnt have the muscle car buzz about it. I dont know if the SRT models are different however.
