As far as weight goes

The IRS adds 50lbs-75lbs.
The 6 speed may add a little.

The rest is just because it's a bigger car. It's not because of any superior crash rating or rigidity. That's just making crap up to justify it. Out of the 3 I'm on record over and over as having the Camaro as my favorite in it's category but I certainly don't think it's without flaw.
Now I can agree with a statement like this. By saying you can add any number of performance packages to a trim level and compare it to a competitor's same trim level with no packages added on to it seems a little unfair to me.
