I don't expect ANY manufacturer (dodge, GM, of Ford) to go ahead and drop weight on the challenger, camaro or mustang.

Cars weighing in at 4,000 lbs is more common now.... 3500 lbs is in the past..... 3000 lbs just ain't gonna happen.

Sure, the vette is an exception... but that is a strictly performance 2 seater car.

just to be annoying, the new Jaguar XJ weighs less than the outgoing challenger. Many car companies, BMW being the first that comes to mind, are attacking weight as a means to save fuel. They vowed the new 3 series would be 2 or 300 pounds lighter than the current model.

I know I am talking cars in a way higher price bracket, but I just wanted to share what little automotive knowledge I have. That being said, I saw spy shots of the new Charger, and I want that!
