You're 3700 lbs number may be pretty close too, in which case i'm not sure it's going to be a huge difference. I'm kinda hoping for a bigger difference, but I dunno.
I'm really trying to formulate whether I want to keep my 2010 or if they weight and performance will be a big enough difference to justify the new car, i'm guessing not, since I already make more HP than a LT1 anyway, toss in a cam and heads and i'm way past it.

When ever you are talking about an old car vs a new car that old car typically always has the edge....
If I were looking at buying a Camaro next year I would look at buying a 2016 SS Camaro (probably starting at around $33,000) or a used 2010 Camaro SS. Looking in my area used 2010 SS coupes currently range from $22,000 to $28,000 bucks. Give it another year and I could probably snatch a 2010 SS coupe for around $20,000 even (or a bit more). I can then throw lets say $13,000 into the car and it is hard to end up with something that isn't much faster for $13,000.
Now typically people finance cars so they probably couldn't right off the bat dump $13,000 cash into the car. Still some tuners advertise head and cam packages for $5,000 with a warranty that gets you over 500BHP from the LS3.....
