[QUOTE=Dave68;1568487563]When you are as big and strong as Ronnie Coleman, then get back to us. Heck, even Lou Ferrigno at 57 years of age is probably stronger.
Not talking about Ronnie coleman, talking about you, if you stood next to me I would look like Ronnie coleman QUOTE]

Do you live on earth by any chance?
I don't see why weighing 3860lbs is going to stop to Camaro from performing well. Heck, A LOT of cars are over 3700lbs nowadays.
Like I said, the Camaro is the lowest priced car to offer 300+hp and 400+hp.

Of the cars in the Camaro's class, when it comes to performance, I don't see any of them hanging with it.
Mustang = not enough power, a live axle, smaller brakes, worse weight distribution
Challenger SRT8 = about the same power, but around 250 lbs heavier and $7-8k more expensive
The Mustang is about $3k cheaper, but it gives up a lot to the Camaro. The V6 Camaro is about $4k less than the Mustang GT and only has 15 less HP. I'd have a hard time deciding between the V6 Camaro and GT Mustang.

Having driven a Challenger R/T, and having seen some really nicely done 05-09 Mustangs, the Camaro was a HUGE let-down for me when I finally saw one in person.
It would be the last car of the 3 I'd ever consider buying. The exterior and interior styling on it is atrocious.
