As to how realistic those targets are, that's another question.

The C6 Vette is the only new model that I know of recently that actually went down in weight with its newest generation.

It's not hard keeping weight down on the high-end cars cause they could do with more exotic lightweight materials, and their price supports that....but on a cheap performance car like camaro/mustang/challenger, it's harder. It seems just keeping the weight near the previous gen is challenge enough.
I just hope it comes in at under 3,700lbs. Preferably no more than 3,600lbs. I have a feeling that if it comes in at around 3,650lbs and has a 400hp motor (ls2 or whatever), it won't be any faster than the 4th gen Ls1 cars 1/4 mile wise.
