If the Challenger comes in at 3,800 lbs I will be VERY grateful. Surprised, but grateful. Anything less and I'll be stunned. 3,600 is a pipe dream. This is a BIG car. Even the LY based car is still going to be bigger than a GTO and that car weighs 3,750 lbs with it's IRS.
3,800 is the best we can hope for.
