I like them both but I would never call them twins,,

To me Camaros and Firebirds look similar with the same doors and wheelbase  ect but the E-body
Chryslers do not share any sheetmetal and only some of the glass will interchange


When people tell me they can't tell the difference I just don't get it

Challenger all the way. Hehe, I want to stir things up a little. I like cudas, but the challenger has the lines.....the beautiful character lines that no other car has come close to touching. The challenger exhaust is meaner, the seats are better looking, the dash is more refined, , the R/T hood is meaner looking than the cuda hood (cant compare shakers cause they both had them) and did I mention those lines.......the character line just comes to life when the sun hits it(especially with gold pearl in the clear coat :laughing:)........These are my opinions and you dont have to agree with them, but remember I dont have to agree with your either :tongue:

I have to AGREE  the 70 Challenger has much better lines and it also has a 2 inch longer wheelbase which makes for a better ride. But I would never turn down a 70 CUDA either....

Not to argue the point but the dashes are identical except the logo. The power equipment is the same, the lines are very close but you would have to be an idiot GM lover to not see the difference, I am gonna go against the grain since I have a Challenger but I would take a Cuda any day, they just look bad A$$!! The Challengers are prettier if that's what you want to call it, the Cuda's are meaner looking, love the fishy shark look to the grill and well, I love my Chally but love the 'Cuda look a little better.  :grinyes:

Come on lets face it, the probably meanest front end of a Muscle car is 1970 Challenger, 1970 Cuda come in 2nd place, and talking about mean ends look at the rear end of a 1970 Challenger that so many musclecar owners are very familiar with.

Also I agree the overall design of the Challenger is more impressive than the Cudas, a few hints: Twin hoods are meaner, door panels are better looking, longer wheelbase, etc.

The cuda has one thing that is better than Challenger, that is th legend story, everybody seem to know the phrase "hemicuda" and therefore we see all these clones and even basketcase cudas go for insane amount of money. When you look at the numbers of production of performance vehicles within Cudas and Challengers, Challengers are often not as many. That fact should bring higher value of Challengers.

In my opinion its only a matter of time when 1970-1 Challenger R/T´s will be sitting beside Cudas in the value rank, we just have to be patient.

Guys, that's like calling your twin, ugly!  I can't believe you even said that!!  Shame on you!  :spank: :boxer:

Fraternal twin, mind you.
Hey, the truth hurts.

 :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Now, no one has said that the Challenger is ugly...just not as good looking.

Now, you might ask why I think the 'Cuda is so much better looking. First, I don't car for the mid-line ridge on the Challenger. The ridge on the 'Cuda is less pronounced than on the Challenger. Second, there's something about the fenders on the Challenger that don't do much for me. Third, the front end view is totally different on the two cars with the 'Cuda grill being one of the best looking grills (especially the '71 grill) every put on a car!

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and no momma ever called their kid ugly!   :laughing: :laughing:
