So, 1SS manual, base trim OVER or UNDER

Not what you hope, but what you predict.

I'm saying under 3,750, but not by a whole lot.

I'll say under, 3725 lbs for the base ss..... fully loaded ss i'll say 3775 lbs

I'd say under 3750, but hardly by much. 3750 is a good number though.

That certainly has not been a strong suit for GM, that's true. Sit in the former BMW 1 series coupe and in a 5th gen Camaro. They seem fairly comparable space wise on the interior, yet the 1 series almost looks like it half the size on the outside.

I think 3695 lbs might be a safe assumption. A base 15 Mustang GT with a manual weights 3704 lbs and a couple within GM seem to be amused by that. I think its gonna be hard to guess anything as I feel the Camaro will not be on ATS or CTS version of Alpha. I think the version of Alpha for the Camaro will be its own thing.

If you actually were a car guy, you would asses the entire package with their pro's and con's.. A solid rear axle has many pro's.. Obviously you wouldnt know.
Of course IRS has it's merits also

Speaking the truth makes me a douche? LOL
You must own an inferior solid axle car.
That's OK. Save up your pennies and just buy a 1997 Corvette or GTO.

I owned and built many solid axle cars. A solid axle is pathetic.
To argue otherwise is idiotic.

[GroundhogSS]

I'm thinking right at 3750, possibly a little over.

[brewguy101]

I like my Subaru

In for hoping under 3750, cause weight was my main reason for not ever wanting a 5th gen...

To which application are you referring to SRA being inferior to IRS?

SRA is the preferred axle set up in off road and drag racing applications.

IRS is preferred for cars where road holding and handling performance, especially on uneven road surfaces, is a top priority

There is no overall "inferior" set up,it depends on the application.... there is a reason the IRS is replaced with a SRA on the 5th gen COPO camaros

200 lbs lighter would look good in a brochure or car information sheet. Hope they can achieve this or better.

The 2015 mustang is ugly as shit. Hopefully, the next camaro doesnt follow suit.

Are you kidding?
There are IRS cars running 7's in the 1/4 mile and trucks are for off-roading, not cars.
The choice of a solid axle for the COPO is just like every questionable decision made GM: it was based on saving money.

Regardless, YES, Solid Rear Axle is still inferior to a IRS.
To argue against that is just plain stupid.
