I'm not sure on the handling of the 5th gens. You might have better luck with some of the Camaro guys on here.
The added weight is mainly due to a super stiff chassis. From talking to a few 5th gen SS track enthusiasts, making a few simple suspension mods (spings and sways) gives the Camaro exceptional handling.
