Here is how to get 1000lbs out of them though (drag pack spec's)

Ive spoken to guys that work on the line in the plant, they cant believe all the layers upon of layers of sound deadening that goes into them, even they believe it to be excessive...and heavy.

I'm not sure where you got your weights but your off by a bit. Here are the weights for the most powerful version of each car.

Mustang GT500 3,920lb
Camaro SS 3,860lb
Challenger SRT8 4,140lb

Now the v-6 versions.
Mustang 3,545lb
Camaro 3,728lb
Challenger 3,819lb

Mr. O'Brien,
I'm sure we'll see the 2010 Camaro running in NHRA stock and stock/automatic before too long, once it's determined where they will be put....(they do really need a good diet). Something that looks that fast, will definitely be made to go real fast....once the boys here get ahold of a few of them... Best wishes. WJ

You might not see a Camaro any time soon.. No one to promote[ CHEVY employees] the HP issue.. @400 hp needs to be rated @ 325 [auto] 425 stick [350] which should be equal to Challenger.. Unless you buy a fullly loaded Camaro to build you can not order a strip down model. I put mine on the lift and well it neat but alot of work to build. NHRA needs to help with this combo.. It WOULD make a nice race car

A friend has a auto. Says he wants to make it go 11's and still be streetable. He's already done e.f.i. live computer tuning, Yank 3600 converter. Needs some tires, gear and headers, and it should, 3900+ raceweight and all ...time will tell. WJ

Bobbie, I had just what you need for your new Camaro in here yesterday. A black 6 speed SS version brought here for tuning with an ATI Procharger. ATI brought it down. After I tuned it, with 7 lbs of boost it made 542 rwhp, with 6 lbs (different pulley) it made 526. Very conservative tunes. New car, still had the paper dealer tag. Just what you need for yours.

A thought about racing one of those. Your gonna need a wide trailer. I had to help the guy put that one back in the trailer for the return trip. A new ATC trailer, and there was very little room on each side. It was close enough he wasn't comfortable loading by himself, and he loads & hauls a lot of cars in his job there. He said none so far has been that wide. Had to pull one ramp door cable out so the mirrors could clear.
