I still don't understand the continuing fascination with comparing the curb weight of new GM vehicles to vehicles that are 4 years old and based on platforms that date back to '00.

The Camaro will never compete head to head with the existing Mustang design since that car will be gone by the end of this calender year making way for an early intro of the heavily revised 2010MY car.

Well then, stop trying to say the Camaro is heavy. Wait until Ford releases the specs for the 2010MY car and then we'll talk about weight.

As for the upcoming 400+hp GT. Specs looks like this....
5.0L DOHC V8 producing 400-425hp and 365-385lb-ft of torque
6-speed manual
as yet unknown specs for revised suspension and brakes (suspension similar to the GT500 goodies with improvements)
base curb weight: ~3550lb (or less)
Care to put any money on who is going to be faster around a road course?

Don't give me any of this guesstimate sh**. It's pointless.
