why does the thing weigh 3859 lbs. a 1967 chevelle ss 396 weighs 3800 lbs and has a 115 inch wheel basei thought with cars being made out of aluminum and plastic would be light.where is the weight coming from in new cars.i weighed my 68 rsss 396 car the other day and it weighed 3444 lbs and its made of real metal.and also the new camaro has an all aluminum engine why is the car so heavy ?and why did chevrolet change the wheel base to 112 from 108?if the new camaro had the same wheelbase and weight as the 1st gens the thing would be unstoppible as far as performance. i guess chevrolet cant let a camaro outrun the corvette is the only answer i could come up with.any thoughts or opinions ?
