At almost 3900 lbs!!! you won't see a Camaro running with a 3100 lb Vette. The Mustangs are starting to trim weight, but the Camaro is still so heavy. You can mod for more hp all you want, but you will always feel that weight when cornering and braking. A base ZO6 can be right at 3100 lbs........imagine adding 4 45# weightlifting plates to EACH fender of your car and then racing it. That's the difference between a Camaro and a Z.
