That's a pretty sick ride if they come out with it. I like them bringing back the Cobra name but I don't think 3500lbs is a possibility. The new 2015 Mustang has gained almost 100lbs over the last model. They can carbon fiber the heck out of it but it won't make up for the added weight of the blower.
I wouldn't mind the new LT4 Z06 motor in the 6th gen Camaro one bit with a lighter weight then the Cobra and Hellcat. If the 6th gen comes in under 3500lbs (its rumored to be), it stands to be significantly lighter then either the Mustang or challenger. With 630hp on tap, a wider power band (it makes tons of torque down low) and a lighter weight a high performance supercharged 6th gen will hold its at the strip and track!
I'll also take the new LT1 in the SS. If the weight comes down it should be significantly quicker then the 5th gens.
