dispite a few inaccuracies it was, for the most part a pretty good read. compairing the challenger to the G8 isnt far off the mark. I cant wait to read the results of the actual production camaro vs mustang vs challenger. you know when they actually put the production camaro out there its gonna be everywhere.

With all the hype it seems like GM has put out, I think you're right. That's fine by me. I'd love to see that car everywhere.

A little dose of reality guys.
I have high hopes for the Camaro, and it will be fast, and it will be awesome, but...... A CHARGER SRT8 can and will pull 13.0-13.3 1/4 mile times with traps between 106mph- 108mph regularly. 0-60 times under 5 seconds are also common. Saying a Charger SRT8 will only do 13.6 in the 1/4, or that 13.6 is the average for a Charger SRT8 is somking crack. That said, the Camaro will still be faster.

I've followed the site but mainly for photos to this point. A reduced curb weight would certainly be welcomed as gas cracks $4 this year. Simply wondering if there have been hints I've not picked up on. Here's hoping GM was able to dump some of that Zeta lead during the Camaro's slumber that Holden hasn't. |

I think the Camaro could pull off a 3700lb weight, maybe even less.
Take a look at some of the pictures of the concept and production models of the Camaro compared to nearby cars. The Camaro is actually fairly small. Somewhere there are pictures of the 5th gen concept next to the 4th gen, and they very similar in size. The 4th gen was what? 3400ish lbs? I could be wrong, but I don't think IRS and maybe a few other things are going to add 300-400 more lbs.

I like it all! Finaly having something that might possibly give us a little insight into the whole what might it have is great. being that the Charger and Challanger are so much alike i think that the camaro being a lighter car in general will deffinatly have the upper hand! I need this to keep me going! great find man! keep searching!
