I'm comparing this and the Challenger. The base V6 Challenger looks to be around the same price as a base V6 Camaro but like everyone is saying the Camaro will have a beefy V6 but I personally like the looks of the Challenger more even though it's a portly pig.

The Camaro's V6 is capable of 300 hp, but it can't torque, so you're best off waiting for the Challenger or the Camaro V8 (which would be my choice).

300HP 273 ft lb torque on the V6 camaro. Challenger V6 is 250HP and 250 ft lb torque. Seems to me the Camaro has the better V6.

I'm not sure. If I recall, the architecture of the V6 is a bit more drawn out, I forget the exact specifications, but the end result was less usage of that torque, but maybe you're right, I'm not sure.

I pulled those numbers direct from GM's and Dodge's sites. I don't know the torque curves though.

I know where you got the numbers from, it's just retailers and manufactures can say all they want, but it really boils down to application.
