A bit too heavy for a pony car but about in line with a sport coupe. I think the Camaro has graduated into a new class but carries, literally, several hundred pounds of pampering, airbags and thick enough steel to get a 5-star crash rating. GM did a good job IMO keeping the weight where it is from Zeta roots but in order to be more than a pony car it needed a lot more and so the weight is what it is. This is a solid car with much more content than previous models of the same name.

Just throwing that out there but if I was a betting man (which I'm not) I would put my money on that weight, 1,700kgs, is for a version of the V8.
