What kind of weight to horsepower ratios are you guys expecting for the base model Camaro to have? What are everyone's thoughts?

I was just doing some math, and not taking into consideration many other factors, such as TQ, aerodynamics, engine displacement, suspension, etc, a 405 hp Camaro theoretically would be equivalent to a 375hp Camaro weighing in at roughly 3600 lbs. This is assuming that the new Camaro is a fat pig (3900lbs) and has 405 hp. That's what, a LS1 6M with an exhaust (375hp)?
