As cool as that would be, there are key factors that the corvette has that the Camaro will not...... 1.) low curb weight- the old camaro weighed in at 3,400lbs.; this new Camaro will at least be 3,800lbs, considering all the new air-bags, wiringg, and sound deadening material they will add that they previous Camaro did not have..... 2.) low center of gravity- whatever we will try to do to our Camaro, we will still be top heavy compared to the vette..... 3.) 50/50 weight ratio- unless they add a transaxle to the Camaro (very unlikely but maybe the ZL1 w/6.2SC)
