the pic of the challenger is the original unedited pic.. i just pasted a scaled camaro over top of it.. and lined up the bottom of the front wheels

I am a little frightened by your new comparison pic. That height suggests maybe 2-3" shorter than the Challenger which makes it 3-4" higher than a 4th gen! It also looks like the beltline on the Camaro is the same or even a bit higher than the Challenger.
If that comparison is true and the ominous comments by red are true, then I think this car is going to be pretty hefty.
Prediction: Base model will be no lighter than 3600 lbs.
Top model will be no lighter than 3800 lbs.
(yes I know it is too early to tell)

Camaro:
110.5" Wheelbase
186.2" Length
Challenger:
116.0" Wheelbase
197.8" Length
Camaro:
110.5" Wheelbase

Challenger:
116.0" Wheelbase
197.8" Length
Btw, isn't the respective height similar?

the dodge is pretty big.. i've seen a magnum in person, that is one long long car, and the challenger is longer by 1/10 inch.. and it's wider though i don't have the width numbers handy, they are around somewhere

a couple images.. i decided to do a side by side and an overlay of a S197 (2005+) mustang vs the camaro concept
also thought i'd do it for the 4th gen

hmmmm.
There is a sense of bulk to the car. The mustang has a lower hood than the Camaro? How is it that the Mustang looks more lean? I don't like that. This really shows what I was talking about with the wheel well to fender height. The 4th gen has a short distance and the Mustang has a little more but the Camaro concept has quite a distance there. This, I think, is a big factor in determining the "sportiness" of a design. I think lowering the hood height a few inches would do wonders for the profile look of the car and significantly reduce the "bulky" look of the car.

I read a article on this subject , and basically stated that among other things a high hoodline is pretty much un-avoidable . From what I gather , by the time the Camaro comes out , new requirements will be in place as far as how much distance there must be between the engine and the hood , how much distance between the nose of the car and the engine ect ect .

I think 4100 is just overestimating.
