You're also INSANE to think anything with a turbo drives better than a smallblock V8 in terms of instant power. Insane.
The base model 7th gen vette is 3300 pounds. The V8 powered Camaro with driver weighs in at 4000 pounds on the PBIR local scales. Yes, it's lighter than the previous version, which was a solid 4300 pounds with driver and gas. Regardless of how light they claim it is, older Mustangs were under 3000 pounds.
The V8 Camaro isn't even close to 4000 lbs. You're thinking of the 5th gen.
Actually the V8 Camaro (coupe) is about 3,695 before the occupant, gas, and the baby-boomer car-show memorabilia in the trunk.... so 4,000 could be on the table. It it was a convertible, it would be 3,965lbs.... so yeah, 4,000 easily with just a trip to the wawa.
Edit: FYI, the 6th gen is only 3,400lbs if you get the four-pop turbo without any extra kit.
