I've beaten a Porsche Boxster up a freeway onramp with my wife's 3.8L Auto Camaro Convertible... :p

Not by how high he was sending his tach (i could tell by sound). Either/or - probably bad driver. I think it comical that I got the better of a porsche boxster who was trying to get in front of me on an onramp - in my wife's "little v6" Camaro.

P.S. It's called a Porsche Boxster and if you want me to be informed, how about this (and I don't know what year was next to me on the onramp btw.): 1996 Porsche Boxster 986 (edmunds.com specs) HP: 201 bhp @ 6000 rpm TQ: 181 ft-lbs. @ 4500 rpm 0-60: 7.2 seconds (http://www.autospecs.info) 1996 Chevrolet Camaro 3.8 (edmunds.com specs) HP: 200 hp @ 5200 rpm TQ: 225 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm 0-60: 7.3(http://www.zeroto60times.com/Chevrol...mph-Times.html) Quarter mile 15.5 (http://www.zeroto60times.com/Chevrol...mph-Times.html) Please "inform" yourself before stating that someone else is "misinformed". Edit: came here to share a funny story, expecting to be harassed by someone with a v8 and a head up his ass. left satisfied....Done with this little ditty.

If they can make it weigh 3400 like the new ATS it will be a beast!

I started a thread a little while back on why the next Camaro should ride on this platform, and now I feel even stronger about it. 3,400 lbs, and it WILL support a DI V8. Of course the V8 and beefier components will add to the weight, but wouldn't figure over 3,600 for sure.

I know it's a lot of what ifs, but is it too far fetched that the v-6 camaro could weigh less than the v-6 ATS?

Yep ... it turned out to be true. Unless 4120 lbs is somehow more than 4222 lbs

I don't even think weight will be a issue for none of these cars from a casual view. People just want a a kick ass looking car with some power and fuel economy (v6) or just raw in your face power with decent gas mileage (v8). The camaro will continue to still outsell the competition as long as it reminds true to its affordability

100lbs may not be a lot when your comparing cars weighing over 4 tons...even though every little bit helps for sure. But it is still nice considering all of the performance oriented extras the ZL1 comes with.
But just imagine if the next Camaro V6 does indeed end up weighing even less than the V6 ATS....you'd be looking at a 3,3xx lb Camaro V6. That would be friggin amazing. You'd be looking at a car that can run mid 13 quarters...or at least easy upper 13s and low to mid 5 second 0 - 60 sprints. Bolt ons would put it damn close to today's SS.....all for mid to upper 20K. Now just imagine the SS weighing in at 3,500 to 3,600 lbs.
