They said the SS will be 'at least' 3900 pounds, and the SRT8 is 4124, 200 pounds in a street car is nothing. Thats the difference between an average driver and a half way decent driver. But weight isnt all you have to take into consideration, you have the power curve on the motor, gear ratios, rear end, drivetrain efficiency, weight transfer, traction, etc. I still think they'll be pretty dead even performance wise. I'm surprised nobody is trying to compare them to the Mustang, that comes in roughly 500 pounds lighter, and has the likes of Roush, Shelby, and Saleen making them much faster.
