I have no issue with the weight of any of the new cars. I'm just amazed at the weight difference between the street version and the class guide.
I started construction on a '67 shelby stocker (untill the economy put it on hold) and the class guide shows a weight of 3187lb. only 70lbs lighter than the camaro. I didn't know all of that street legal technology was that heavy. The camaro sure looks a lot larger and heavier than my '67 mustang. If I could take out the same percentage of weight my car would weigh about 2700lbs. The problem is it still wouldn't be competitive with the new cars.
