Yeah it does weigh a lot but I don't see the complaint here. Explain why this is a problem. I don't understand.
Its aproblem to those of us who care about performance and bragging rights. If i cared about looks i would just go out and buy the v6 and save a ton of gas. I wanna be able to take out or at least hang with the big boys with just a few simple mods. The difference between 3500lbs and 4150lbs is 13.5sec 1/4 and 12.9secs, thats huge. Now i gotta spend another few grands to get this thing respectable, for that kind of money i can buy a gto or corvette and have a 12.5 second car from the get go. Also word is that the new Camaro and the redesigned mustang is going to be in the 3600-3700lb range, that will run circles around this obesity.
