It will always be about weight, mass itself is the single most important variable that affects all aspects of performance and efficiency. It took Ford 6 years to shave 150lbs and a majority of that was an engine recast to aluminum. Its not impossible for GM to shave the weight, which is why I directly post on here so team Camaro can see it. It pushes Camaro fans to directly ask those questions in which GM could make changes to the current game plan. But alot of those sacrifices will not be made because of consumer demand for other luxuries.
There are bad decisions being made, like a power passenger seat and 20" wheels all around. GM is using the heaviest engine/transmission combo they have and it is possible for them to limit the gas tank size.
There was drastic weight saving measures done prior to the Camaro reaching the public which makes it hard to lose some pounds.. but not impossible.
I still post good information, but after months and months of posting the same information on here and the average Camaro fan pays no attention... Then I talk about other things... I liked to discuss everything automotive, it only seems warped because its either new information I bring back to this forum or it is information that people don't want to hear. I love to talk about how the new ZL1 can reach 4000lbs, I have done the math for months.. I had suggestions and those suggestions were shot down, so I look for new suggestions... simple and easy..
