Re: Jalopnik lets the cat out of the bag reveals 2010 camaro info before monday revea

Before everyone starts quoting the 3747 lbs weight, reread the article. The orginial says:

"... but the Camaro is a porker, weighing in at more than 1,700kgs."

Jalopnik simply did the metric conversion for 1700 kgs and came up with 3747 lbs. So, the original article basically says the car weighs in at more than 3747 lbs. And, it doesn't specify whether its the v6 or V8. We'll know more Monday.

Given the platform, the weight is no surprise, but I truly wish that GM had managed to come up with something a lot closer to 3200 lbs than 4000, particularly from a performance perpective.
