My GT500 vert is 3900 lbs too (and its a much smaller car physically than a Camaro)....get used to it. I'd rather have the extra weight for the beef to protect me in case of an accident than to have a trimmed down piece of racing elegance that would not protect me if I got broadsided at a traffic light.
These are street cars that are fast, not race cars. Enjoy the power and safety of them, and be glad that your family is as safe in them as they would be in a new Toyota (or whatever).
