I assume it'll weigh in at 3700 lbs or somewhere around that. I still would like it to be much lighter. The power ratio is very impressive, but I would like for it to go around corners as well.

Hopefully they can keep it around 3500. Thats already 500 more than my current car.

just poking at you...does your car have 400hp? :p

I don't know about you guys, but I like me a heavy car. That was one of my favorite things about my '85. I swung open those doors and there was no stopping them. If anyone was parked too close, or standing next to my car, they were in for a world of hurt. Plus, there's just this feeling of power associated with a larger, heavier car.

Maybe it's just because I'm not into racing or anything. I'm not worried at all about a lack of power, I just think some added weight would be a bonus for this car.

I don't mind a little weight on a vehicle. Makes it feel more planted to the ground. But even I don't want it TOO heavy.

Isn't the G8 GT being listed as like 3800 or something? I assume the Camaro being smaller will weigh in under that.

The third gens were really light, compartatively. Like 3100 pounds, with an iron block.

I wouldn't mind if I payed $250 000 for the car I love so much; at least I know only a few in my country will buy it. It's awesome to be unique. For $25000, the roads will be stuffed by them. Urghhhh. But hey, I can always customise it, right?

Paying $25000 for the car, and adding another 25 grand for customisation is not too bad.

If you've got the dough...I guess not...:p

I play with my son's bumble bee just so I can get some type of Concept satisfaction..... Although absence makes the heart grow fonder, I am about to loose my mind if I can't get behind my Camaro!!!!

Thats exactly what im trying to tell everybody here!!!

From what I have head, the plant is either gutted or is in the process of being gutted. They have to install a brand new assembly line, I think they call it the flex line or somehting. Anyway, the Camaros are scheduled to go into production in 1 year, thats only around 50 weeks, or 360 some days, about 9000 hours, or roughly 32 000 000 seconds.
