I gotta ask? Where did you get that number from? Only number so far has been for the RS model. Even Autoblog, when they posted all the pics of the SS didn't have the weight numbers.

It's in here, scroll down to "Dimensions- Exterior".
I stand corrected, the curb weight for the MT-equipped Camaro SS is 3860 pounds. It's still a featherweight compared to the Challenger SRT8, though...

Now, imagine a Camaro with the supercharged V8 from the Cadillac CTS-V, pushing 550 HP, with Yenko badging, taking on the GT500.

chevrolet never let a car have the same amount of power or lower power then the comp..
and yea that would be nice but the gt 500 would sadly loose now the gt500kr might be a diff story

That being said, the MT-equipped SS weighs exactly 270 lbs. lighter than the Challenger SRT8.

How do you figure the GT500 would lose ? compare 500 HP for the GT500 vs. the Camaro SS at 422 HP. Being that the GT500 has both a weight advantage, and 78 more HP. The Camaro SS, doesn't stand a chance against the GT500 !

The great thing about the new Camaro SS is that it has 420 HP in MT trim (400 in AT trim, due to the cylinder deactivation), and it weighs roughly 300 pounds less than the Challenger SRT8. If a Camaro SS and Challenger SRT8 got involved in a race on a drag strip, I know where my money's going! 
At 270 lbs. less than the SRT8 Challenger. I know where my money's going too

Being as the SS weighs 3860 lbs. and weighs approx 381 lbs. more than the current Mustang GT. I don't see how the 2011 Mustang GT could lose at 400 HP, as the SS will still weigh more, and only has a 22 HP advantage at 422 HP !
