Default RE: Quick blurb from Big Smoke @ Redletterdodge

Take a look here regarding weight: https://dodgechallenger.com/forums/fb.asp?m=3089

My biggest gripe about those muscle cars has no merit but they were heavy and some were over 4000 lbs. Compared to
say a 2006 Mustang at 3373 lbs., 2006 Corvette at 3130 lbs as a reference.

I did add all 50 cars and the average weight was 3520 lbs. of course that also includes 3 of the cars in the 2000 lbs range and one was 2200 lbs so that tends to skew the data.

The Challenger concept car was 4160 lbs but I believe most of it was carbon fiber. I hope with the shorter LY platform the overall weight will go down significantly.

I would love to have the Challenger come in at around 3500 lbs but that is wishful thinking.
This article also talks about weight: "Old but interesting news...see comments on LY platform" https://dodgechallenger.com/forums/fb.asp?m=9018
