Lets see, the N/A Camaro SS weighs 3860lbs, add a blower and supporting goodies you're looking at LEAST 4000lbs. It better have more than 556hp if it wants to play with the new 500. That's assuming it comes out next year, because if it doesn't who knows how much power the GT500 will have the year after.

You are discounting any weight savings they implement. You can easily save 50+lbs by eliminating the SS's exhaust cans. I'm sure there are other easy weight savings like that which could negate any weight gains from the blower.
Also the 2011 GT500 weights 3820.

So now it is 3820 vs. 3860 + Z 28 mods which could be 200lbs or it could be 100lbs or less if they use more aluminum or some carbon fiber/light weight wheels. I don't know what they will do but the point is the delta will likely not be as big as you think.
