I doubt it would be that heavy, maybe 4200-4300, the ZL1 is going to be what, 4150+? The Camaro is no lightweight, what about 3900 pounds for the SS? IMHO if fun to drive is what you are after and not too worried about the 1/4 mile, the Toyota/Subaru sports cars fit the bill the best. 200HP and 2700 pounds in a well designed chasis with a low center of gravity for less than 25k? Um, yeah.....
