Thread: g/f's V6 Camaro is whoopin me

Of course, those combined could be just enough to make that 1 to 1 1/2 car length lead.

Anywho... good luck when some of the mods start going into my car.

ever weigh a 4th gen camaro, they are way heavy (heaviest f body by a large margin even in v6 form)

Oh yeah. I'm well aware that my 3300lb boat is not light in any way. But if we're going to be technical about it, there are still other factors including extra weight (i.e. driver, gas, extra junk in the car) that make his total weight at least 150lbs more than mine. At least from what I've heard stock '05 Grand Prix typically weigh (~3,47x lbs?).
