Holy crap. So the giant steel cars of yesteryear are actually lighter than our modern Camaro? That's amazing.

I know. Amazing isn't it? And those had iron blocks.
I often sit and wonder how the hell the cars got to be so heavy. I remember the v8 monte carlo was like 3300 or 3400 lbs. The car was a full size car with more room than the camaro inside and yet it weighed less.

The Camaro is still steel. Only front and rear caps are plastic, and there's a whole lot more stuff packed into them.

Even the hood and trunk? I know some cars these days are using aluminum hoods and trunks to keep weight down.
