Plus when shifting the platform to 2 door you can a lot of times shed weight.
I really don't think it would be difficult for GM to make a 3300lb Camaro SS with the alpha platform.

The 2014 corvette weighs in at 3298 lbs. I seriously doubt that the new camaro is both going to weigh the same and have the same engine option as the corvette. I really don't see cannibalizing as a good move for GM at this point.
As for this new mustang, I am not a fan of the front or the back. The side profile looks great. I am hoping for a more aggressive front grille for the upgraded models on the reveal tomorrow.
