Show me where you did, besides in this post.

Ok.

Seemed to me that the article was about the new engines. I didn't see anything there about the rest of the car.

The Camaro is heavy? Does that make the GT500 out-and-out fat? And why is the GT500 heavier than the Camaro, when, according to the Mustang guys, adding horsepower to Fords only decreases the weight?

I find it silly myself, but since they obviously believe that said info is true the topic of this thread makes this thread as suitable a place to debate it as any other. If you wish, feel free to inform your fellow Camaro enthusiasts of the same thing that I did and maybe every Mustang vs Camaro thread wont actually devolve into a 'Mustang will weigh five million pounds by 2020' debacle.
I know I brought up weight and cost as two factors that could change due to the new engine and power. I could care less about who's got the better airbags.
