I'm all talk and no "ballz"?
Look, I don't have a lot of money. So no, I'm not going to put up $100 towards a charity, especially one I have no interest in whatsoever.
If you're not even willing to stand behind your opinion to the tune of $12, I think we all know which one of us here is all talk.
I even cleared it with the powers that be, making sure that I could buy you a premium membership, should you win the bet.

And no respect either, for someone who "have no interest in whatsoever" in a charity which helps our wounded service members and their families.
You "cleared it" with the powers that be, that it was okay for me buy a $12 membership for you?
Oh man, you are too much....

Noting that the poll is what we *think* the car will weigh, not what we *wished* the car would weigh....I weighed in (no pun intended.....well....maybe a little).

Id say a fair guess is in between 3600-3700lbs. GTO is about 100lbs more then that, and if I can count on the Camaro team taking the car to weight loss school, Id figure that between the new stronger chassis and weight loss program, thats where Id like to see it. And in that range, thats not bad.

Charlie, when someone calls you out, you can't call them out in response. I'll bet you're a fan of the "I know you are but what am I?" comeback, too.
Besides, I'm asking you a question. How can that be BS?
To get into my opinion on this matter, we'd have to discuss politics. I won't do that here. It's not relevant anyway.
I'm a stubborn, opinionated SOB who has way too much time to spend calling people out on the internet. I have no expectation that anyone else agrees with me, or even thinks highly of me. I don't care what you or anyone else thinks of me. I am very good with details, though, and the inconsistency in the details in your posts are just screaming that you're making everything up. I may be a pain in your ***, but at least I'm not lying or beating around the bush instead of coming right out with an answer. You're clearly doing at least one of those things.
It's not normally possible to purchase a premium membership for someone else. So, yes, I checked with Jason. He said he could take care of it. And if you go back and re-read, I confirmed that it was possible for me to buy one for you.
All of my efforts are just to get you to either commit to a number or admit that you don't know. I'd even be happy with an over/under. I really couldn't care less about any of the rest of this.

who cares what it weighs, i'd rather have a well built car than a tin can, yes its going to be heavier than a 4th gen because you have an independent rear and it has to follow much stricter safety rules, they could half *** it on a whole bunch of parts to save weight but its not usually a good idea
how much more does the 12 bolt or the 8.5 inch 10 bolt weigh than the 10 bolt in the 4th gen maybe 20-30 lbs at best, boy im sure glad i dont have that extra 20 lbs on my car

Personally, I'm glad they did it the way they did it. If it's that important to you, just buy a 12-bolt, and then sell your 10-bolt to someone who broke theirs and can't afford their own 12-bolt.

The G8 weighs over 4K... so 3,800???
My 2 cents.
PS, I hope I'm wrong!

My number came from Wikipedia, so no surprise that it's off a little. It's probably the weight of the Holden Commodore or something. Pontiac.com wasn't (and still isn't) loading for me, so I couldn't get the official number.
We're talking about curb weights. Was your guess at the Camaro weight with driver?

All fair.
But if you don't have alot of money, then why are you challenging people for money on the internet?
And when you turned down my bet WHICH YOU INTIATED, I just let it go, like a gentleman. I didn't harass you or stalk your posts like you do mine.
So as you can see, to me you seem like one chicken **** little dude.
What do they say in Texas? You're all hat and no cattle.
