A little weight reduction news from GM.

GM CEO orders 15% diet for all new models by 2016. Bodes well for 6th gen Camaro? | Camaro ZL1 Z28 SS LT Camaro forums, news, blog, reviews, wallpapers, pricing – Camaro5.com » Blog Archive

15% from the camaro would be in the 500-600lb range, which would bring the camaro down from 3800lbs for a manual SS to 3300 lbs. That's a huge difference. This means the v6's will be right under 3200 lbs. With this kind of weight loss on the same motors and updated suspensions? This would make camaro, the fastest affordable sports car out today if it happened tomorrow? Damn. The mustang may lose a little weight and the Z is supposed to be substantially lighter next gen.

It looks like we went from the HP wars to the weight wars.
