If it's as small as it looks there, it has no excuse to weigh 3800 pounds. A car that size could reasonably be closer to 3200, except we know the platform is pretty heavy, really made for a larger car.
The 2008 Avenger base model is 3355 pounds. The Camaro looks like it could wear the Avenger's sheet metal as a costume (with the possible exception of width), without removing its own sheet metal, with space to spare. Therefore, if built like a cheezy Dodge, it would weigh 3000 to 3100. Figure in GM quality, extra structural rigidity for handling and the future convertible model, a little extra weight for RWD, and extra weight for a larger engine, and maybe the V6 will still be south of 3500?
