Not really...

Base Curb Weight ('64-'72) was for a 6-cylinder/3-speed manual/no power steering-brakes/no air/no cruise/no tilt/no radio etc. etc.

No 5mph bumpers/ABS/Stability Control/air bags/4WDB etc. etc. etc.

What now is "mandatory", by customer taste AND government regulation, is a "weighty" issue.

Keep in mind, too, the "current" Camaro is based on a version of a "current" Chevelle (i.e. mid-sized 2-dr coupe a.k.a. Holden Monaro). The Camaros of old were based on the smaller/lighter Chevy II/Nova chassis...
