I could care less if the car had equal performance to the Mustang. It needs to have much better performance than the Mustang, especially considering that the price will be more than a Mustang. I'm not sure if others feel the same way but I for one am not trading up unless the 6th gen SS comes in at less than 3750lbs.

I fully agree. I hope to see the 6th gen SS come in around 3,650 lbs. I think it is reasonable seeing as the ATS V6 is around 3,550 lbs. I want the next SS to decimate the GT in any performance metric they can come up with. I just hope they continue the 1LE option. The current 1LE is almost exactly how I want my Camaro but I won't be able to afford it until the next generation is out.
