first car. dodge or chevy?
Dad and I made a deal.
i could have any car i wanted for under 30,000 if i got a 30 or higher on the ACT.
i have a 4.300 gpa so its definitely possible.
i've picked out two.
2010 Chevrolet camaro 2SS (w/the 6.2L V8)
or...
2009 Dodge Challenger R/T.
with the options both are about 36,000. I'll just pay the six thousand. But which is the better car.
based on looks, feel, handeling, and accelleration.
(both have over 22 mpg so i'm not worried about that.)
suggestions and comments please.
actually. he said reasonably priced. but his car is almost 30,000.
my dad ain't rich. just frugal the rest of the time so we can buy these things.
Um, is this even a question? Have you researched these two cars - the R/T will be royally spanked by the Camaro SS, it isn't a contest. Get the SS in a manual. A more correct comparison would be the srt8 with the camaro ss.
By the way I scored 31 on my ACT back when and my dad took me to golden corral, your family is loaded.
