So, Can any one who has owned a 4th Gen SS compare it to the 5th Gen to it?
I know these are 2 different animals here. Can Anyone who has owned both make
any honest comparrison here. I've had people tell me that the 4th Gen SS is a much
better car??

Thanks!

Good question but you should have started a new post with it.

I personally don't like the direction the Challenger, Camaro and Mustang are taking lately. There IS a reason those body shapes went out of style 40 years ago.

That statement is just ridiculous. Those "body shapes" did NOT "go out of style" at all. The "gas crisis" of 1973 simply killed off all muscle cars and gave us crap like Pintos and Vegas.

Proof of my claim can be found at any auction of restored "classic" cars like 69 Camaros, 68 Mustangs and 70 Challengers bring from $40K-$80K ALL the time.

Haha, what? The old charger was a 2+2, new ones a large sedan and not meant to be retro. Or if it is meant to be, then wow, Chrysler is terrible at retro.
i will Agree challenger looks amazing though.
