It's just a Chrsyler 300 with a different body on it and suspension tuning.....all the cars on that platform are big and heavy.

It has been reported several times that GM's target weight for the Camaro is ~3600lbs, which is roughly 500lbs less than the Challenger. I say that's a pretty good weight for a sports coupe with IRS and all the modern safety features and gadgets that it's bound to have. Would be nice if they had a de-optioned "stripper" version, but I doubt that it will happen.
