So do you think it should still fulfill those requirements today? To compensate, would it be acceptable to have a low-safety version of the Camaro, available as a non-streetable car? This could be a great track machine if it is designed right, but would GM be able to make a sale on a car with modern weight reduction? I'd be worried about safety since that explains so much of the current weight.
