Your Grand daddy said the same thing in the 1970's. If you can afford 40k for this care then you can afford the gas.

u stupid ass it gets 0-60 in 4.8 secs and gets 1/4 mile in 12.8 secs and 60-0 in 115 feet this car kills the camaro stop acting like u know wat ur talking about dumb fuck

@jcharger93 no. the challenger started in 1970, ended in 1974. there were a few challenger in the 80's that were based in mitsubishis, and dont deserve the name. it came back in 2007.

@l0st4lif3 not entirely true. stock tiems for the 1970 Z28 are in the high 12's and low 13's. i dont know how fast the new camaro is, but ive achieved 4.7 seconds 0-60 in my 09 challenger. if you spend 500$ in a device that modifies the data on the cars computer, it makes the engine more efficient. the power can go over 500 hp.

@bimmerm3freak well, if your running against the v6, then this is true. but the v8 runs 0-60 in 4.6(for the new camaros) now in the 1/4 mile, if your talking about racing someone who knows what their doing with the car, all times shall be under 10 seconds with any camaro regardless of year. but the '69 Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 beats just about everything

A good friend of mine recently bought an`09 with manual. $1,300 gas guzzler tax. If it were an auto- $1,700 tax. Which btw I don`t think is fair. Gas guzzler tax in general is just another way to get extra money to the government. What a scam!
