I've gone through 5+ reviews on several different websites. All of the cars, ranging from base, fully loaded premium, GT/CS, and Brembo-equipped, were between 3600-3680lb. All of these were coupe models.

Now, the amount of gas our tanks hold can cause the weight to vary by up to 95lbs, as we have a 16 gallon gas tank. A gallon of gas is around 6-6.5lb. A review done with a 1/4 tank of gas and one done with a full tank of gas can be the difference seen, or it might actually be due to heavier parts (leather, glass roof, stereo, Brembo's, etc).

Either way, it's completely negligible, and you can't go wrong with any of the models. If you really care enough to nitpick about 50-60 lbs, go on a diet, dump your girlfriend (115 lb passenger man! You can't outrun those Camaro's with a girlfriend!), or buy a Miata.

good answer....wasn't sure until now........she might be hitting 200lbs....kidding hope she reads this!! What sucks is that in order to get the shaker 1000 have to order a premium GT. Oh yea....forgot to mention...by time I'm done with 5.0....I could place 5 large belly dancers in the car and still smoke a vette...let alone a camaro!!! Thanks for the comments....I agree...there's not enough weight to worry about. Mustangs Rule!!
