Which one is going to win the battle of the muscle cars - the Dodge Charger or Chevy Camaro? Both are excellent vehicles but they have their drawbacks, too. We were able to unearth some little known facts about both vehicles that may help you make a better informed decision when it's time to pick your next vehicle.
There's no denying that the Charger looks great; some would even say it's mean (in a good way). Comparatively, some long-time fans of the Camaro have complained about the refreshed model's styling. It seems as though the Camaro has lost a bit of its personality in comparison to today's other muscle cars.
The base Charger model comes with an efficient Pentastar V6 Engine. Even though it doesn't deliver the excitement of a V8 engine, it still has enough kick for most people. Dodge tuned it to develop a healthy 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The engine is both powerful and fuel efficient.
The base Chevrolet Camaro LS boosts four-cylinder engine that pours out 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. A 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds proves the Camaro LS isn't a slow mover. It also sips fuel so you save some trips to the gas pump.

Another feature that puts the Dodge Charger ahead of the Camaro is the available AWD system. That's a huge benefit for those who need to travel on snow-packed roads (it provides far better traction than the standard RWD system). If you think that the added weight of the AWD system will reduce fuel economy, think again. When driving in dry weather, an axle-disconnect feature cuts power to the front wheels to save gas.
Also, check Charger's optional driver-assist technologies (forward collision warning helps you to brake for obstacles, blind-spot monitoring makes the task of changing lanes less frightening).
The Chevrolet Camaro provides outstanding impact protection for a performance car. Chevy also offers some useful driving aids, including forward collision alert and blind-spot warning..
However, which one is a better value for the money?
The Dodge Charge wins, hands down! Here's why. The Camaro is a bit cheaper but it comes with an updated look that deters too far from what made it an iconic muscle car. Additionally, while the Camaro comes with fun features and a good safety rating, it fails to work as efficiently as the Charger. And last but not lease, the Dodge Charger is a real head-turner and you will be the envy of both your neighbors and coworkers.
