how that happened. As I've said before, if the Camaro acts like the V8 and seems to magically shrink around you as you drive it, then this isn't a problem at all. However since some reviews are making mention of above-average weight, I think it is a valid point to consider.

"You have your choice between lightweight, cheap, and safe. Pick two." I think that pretty much sums it up. |

However your post makes sense because in reality, auto manufacturing by law must incorporate safety. And safety = weight |

I would love to hear an engineer from GM come out and explain in about 1 sentence why the Camaro weighs so much (details, not just 'safety') but I know its not going to be that easy. Thousands of hours of work on analysis and optimization and hundreds of hours of arguing went into creating the 5th Gen Camaro. For them to go through every design decision related to weight would probably take an entire book. I know there is a reason for everything, they would never do something like this just to piss us off, but I don't know what those decisions are . One thing for everyone to also keep in mind the fact that the Camaro is actually lighter than the G8. When Dodge shortened the Charger to make the Challenger, it still weighed the same. Quote:
