If if was that easy for the Camaro to lose a couple hundred pounds in the next few years, it would have weighed a couple hundred pounds less now.

At this point it would be substituting premium materials. Look at the Z06. An all aluminum frame, Carbon Fiber panels. All of that $$$$ only saved 160 pounds and some of that was taken back by the added weight of the powertain, wheels and brakes.

If it could be, it would be.
