Would normally be excited about something like this, but owned a 3100 lb aluminum chassied C6 ZO6 for six years now. Camaro ZL1's tip the scales at a piggy 4200 lbs, and really suck the gas. Never owned a car with a curb weight that high, and doesn't sound so sporty to me.

My wife and I recently purchased a '12 Jaguar XJ-L, the "long wheelbase", 4 door sedan, and even it is only 4100 pounds...and so far, FWIW, it seems to sip gasoline, for a car it's size and weight.
