Razor thin sheet metal and the weight on these new Challengers amazes me. If the sheet metal was this thin on the originals you’d have to acid dip the body.
 
So a loaded 392 weighs less than 4,200 lbs.

I hear Mustang and Camaro guys all the time talk about how ridiculously heavy these cars are. I think it's funny. There's only a 300 lb. difference, and that 300 lbs. gives you WAYYYY more car with the Dodge.
To be fair, 300 lbs is a lot. The extra roominess is a good point.
