GM seems to have done a knockout job with their c5 ZL1... Just imagine if that 580 hp and MR suspension wasn't tugging around 4,000+ pounds!
A lightened camaro running zo6 times in a few years... Wow.. Same with the mustang on a lighter chasis...
Decrease the weight, maintain the power, increase mileage...

Ya, but you got to watch the power to weight ratio... too much power and not enough weigh, or the ability to manage that power to the rear tires like GM does, you end up with the Mustang issue of no traction.... then you have to redesign/reengineer the down force, suspension, sway bar size, etc.... unless you are only talking a few hundred pounds, maybe 3 to 4 at the most...
