I just don't understand why all of these new retro "sports" cars (Camaro, Mustang, Challenger) have to be so damn heavy. I'm sure it has to do with inexpensive parts. I suppose if GM built the Camaro to be as light as the Corvette, it would nearly cost as much as well.
But c'mon................all 3 of these cars are pushing 4000lbs! -They couldn't do any better than that?
Heck, my wife's 4-door BMW 540I weighs the same as these "sports" cars do.
-Probably handles better too!
