Maybe there's something more...something like saftey standards that, imo, are out of hand. Maybe there's millions of people who judge a car by its gadgetry, and yet further...maybe it's the wild quest for horsepower that is driving up the power-handling requirements! What would most of you here say to a 3500lb, V6-ONLY Camaro that performed just as well as this one will? Heresy? Blasphemous? "Not a Camaro"?
hmmm...Challenger, GT500(and no doubt soon the rest of the 'stangs), Camaro, GTR (yes, GTR)....something is telling me very loudly that weight is going up across the board...and not just Camaro.

Thank you I have been defending most new muscle cars curb weight because of safety standards getting worst every year. About time somebody stopped calling them pigs and used their brain. I predicted the camaros weight to be 3800 -3900 ish and I was right. I can't wait for it to hit the road!
