I've always been a huge fan of Camaros. 69s (natch) and the 76-78s in particular. I wasn't that suprised that this was coming back and really liked the first pics and specs around it, but like everyone else, it's a massively failed attempt at what's supposed to be a mid-tier sports car. Would I have considered picking up one? Sure, but at a incredulous 3800# for the SS...that's wholely unnecessary.

In case you haven't noticed, there are reasons why the weight went up. Failed? I don't see how that is even possible seeing as though the Camaro hasn't even hit the market yet. Once the Camaro comes out and it supposedly flops due to weight, then you can say "I told ya so." Until then, the only thing that failed is your expectation of a corvette weight and performance at a Camaro price. Like others have said, sure....it could weight 3,000lbs, but then it'd cost $49,000. Which would put the Camaro (priced lower than the vette for a reason) beyond the average consumer price range which would then force it to............................................
FAIL.
Really....
If you are so ticked off about weight that it has turned you off that much, why did you join us on a site that is dedicated to the 5th Gen? Just to complain about the weight? I mean...........

I agree with whoever said they can't wait for the big three to go tits up. It's inevitable at this point.
I'll stick with my European and Japanese makes. Bitch all you want, there's a reason they sell.

WTF???
If that's your take,
FINE. Stick with your imports. We don't need to listen to your complaining over here. I'd say to stick around and talk about the good stuff surrounding the Camaro, but apparently that looks like it'll never happen.
Stick with your imports and their websites or open your mind to why weight has gone up (try reading the thread) and realize that it's called LIFE.
