3500+200=3700=new mustang will gain weight. That reduces the advantage to 150 lbs for the mustang over the camaro, which is not much. As I said, it won't take much for the Camaro to stay ahead of the Mustang, although it will certainly be closer. I'm sorry this turned into another Mustang thread, I hope somebody deletes all these posts discussing the Mustang in here (including mine).
